Angels at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Angels 1

Money line

LEAN MARINERS (-160) because I’d rather lay it with Seattle’s RL at a plus-money payout.

But, the Mariners are a lot more productive at the plate vs. left-handed pitching and have a much stronger bullpen.

Seattle’s lineup scores more runs per 9 vs. lefties (3.99-3.32) and outranks L.A.’s lineup in wRC+ (110-84), wOBA (.315-.285), ISO (.146-.128) and BB/K rate (0.45-0.36), according to FanGraphs.

Also, Davidson gives up more walks than strikeouts, which is always the type of starting pitcher you want to fade.

Run line/Against the spread

BET a HALF-UNIT on the MARINERS -1.5 (+133) only because they are just 2-7 RL as home favorites with Gonzales on the bump since the beginning of last season. In fact, Seattle is getting outscored in those games 4.22-3.67 on average.

However, as mentioned above, Seattle’s bullpen is a lot more reliable than L.A.’s. Mariners’ relievers have a better WAR, ERA, WHIP and FIP, per FanGraphs. Furthermore, the Angels relievers have logged a lot of pitches over the last 3 days.

Over/Under

BET a HALF-UNIT on the UNDER 7.5 (+105) because both lineup score fewer than 4.00 runs per 9 and the Under appears to be the sharper play.

Roughly 70% of the money is on the Under whereas nearly 90% of the bets are placed on the Over 7.5 (-125), per Pregame.com. Since professional bettors wager a lot more money than the average Joe, it’s wise to follow the cash column when it’s counter to the public.

Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (29-35) and Seattle Mariners (28-35) begin a 5-game series Thursday. First pitch for the opener is 10:10 p.m. ET at T-Mobile Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Angels vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting of 2022 – Mariners won 11-8 last year

The Angels have lost 18 of their last 20 games and were just swept in 2 games at the Los Angeles Dodgers. They managed only 2 hits – both with 1 out in the 9th inning – in a 4-1 loss Wednesday.

The Mariners are in the middle of an 11-game homestand. They are 2-4 through the first 6 games.

Angels at Mariners projected starters

RHP Shohei Ohtani vs. RHP George Kirby

Ohtani (4-4, 3.64 ERA) makes his 11th start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 11.8 K/9 through 54 1/3 IP.

  • Has 7 starts allowing 2 or fewer earned runs. Went 7 innings in last start, yielding 1 run on 4 hits and 2 walks with 6 K’s in a 5-2 win at the Boston Red Sox June 9.
  • Is 2-0 with a 2.37 ERA (19 IP, 5 ER) in 3 starts against the Mariners in his career.

The rookie Kirby (1-1, 3.65 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 1.0 BB/9 and 8.5 K/9 through 37 IP.

  • Mariners have won his last 3 starts.
  • Will make 1st career start against the Angels.

Angels at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 4, Angels 3

Money line

The Angels have been struggling, having lost 18 of their last 20 games. They are 12-17 on the road, while the Mariners are an even 14-14 at home.

Seattle has won Kirby’s last 3 starts and is 7-6 in its last 13 games.

While Ohtani only allowed 1 run in 7 innings in his last start, he allowed 9 in his previous 9 innings over 2 starts.

Take the MARINERS (+105).

Run line/Against the spread

When the Angels win, it is by multiple runs. Their last 10 wins have been by 2 or more runs. The problem is that those 10 wins come with 24 losses.

They just aren’t winning games.

The Mariners are 31-32 ATS on the season but 24-16 ATS as underdogs.

Back the money line bet for the better payout and PASS on the run line because I think the Mariners will win.

Over/Under

The Mariners’ last 4 games and 6 of their last 8 have had 7 or fewer runs.

The last 3 for the Angels and 5 of the last 7 also have had 7 or fewer runs.

Such has been the case with Ohtani’s last 2 starts and 5 of his 10 this season, although Kirby’s last 6 starts have all had 8 or more runs.

I LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-130).

The Los Angeles Angels (44-44) and Seattle Mariners (48-42) play their final game before the All-Star break Sunday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET at T-Mobile Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Angels vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Jose Suarez is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels. He is 3-2 with a 2.37 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 8.6 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9 over 30 1/3 IP through 10 appearances (1 start).

In his first start Monday, he went 3 innings against the Boston Red Sox and allowed 2 runs on 3 hits and 4 walks in a loss.

LHP Hector Santiago is the projected starting pitcher for the Mariners. He is 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 11.8 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9 through 21 1/3 IP spanning 11 relief appearances. He has not started a game in the majors since 2019.

Money line (ML)

The Mariners took the first two games of the series and have won seven of their last 10 games. They are 29-19 at home this season.

The Angels are 18-24 on the road but have not had a road trip this season without a win. They’ve won eight of their last 12 games.

Take the ANGELS (-105).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Angels are also 18-24 ATS on the road and failed to cover the spread in either of the first two games of this series.

The Mariners covered the spread in each of their last three games. They are 27-21 ATS at home.

I like the Angels to win the game outright but think it will be a 1-run affair.

Take the MARINERS +1.5 (-185).

Over/Under (O/U)

Only five ballparks have a lower Over percentage than Seattle’s T-Mobile Park this season, with 43.5% of Seattle’s home games going Over the projected total.

Only three of the Mariners’ last nine games had a total of more than 9 runs scored. Only two of the last seven games for the Angels saw 10 or more runs scored..

Take UNDER 9.5 (-115).

Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Seattle Mariners (47-42) host the Los Angeles Angels (44-43) Saturday at T-Mobile Park for the second game of their three-game set. First pitch will be at 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Angels vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Seattle stormed back from a 3-run deficit to beat L.A. 7-3 in the first game of the series Friday thanks to a grand slam by DH Mitch Haniger in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Season series: Mariners lead 5-3.

LHP Patrick Sandoval is on the rubber for the Angels. He is 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA (49 IP, 21 ER), 1.27 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 across eight starts and three relief appearances.

  • Last outing: No-decision with 5 IP, 2 ER, 2 H, 5 BB and 7 K in L.A.’s 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles Sunday.
  • Sandoval lost to the Mariners (9-5) June 6 with 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 1 BB and 10 K.
  • 2021 road stats: 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA (18 IP, 9 ER), 7 BB and 15 K over three starts and one relief appearance.

RHP Chris Flexen makes his 16th start for the Mariners. He is 7-3 with a 3.80 ERA (85 1/3 IP, 36 ER), 1.25 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 6.0 K/9 this year.

  • Last outing: Win, 4-1, with 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 0 BB and 5 K Sunday against the Texas Rangers.
  • Flexen took a no-decision against L.A. earlier this season with a stat line of 4 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 1 BB and 0 K in Seattle’s 7-4 win.
  • 2021 home stats: 5-2 with a 1.99 ERA (54 1/3 IP, 12 ER), 0.98 WHIP and 4.6 K/BB rate across nine starts.

Angels at Mariners odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 2:15 p.m. ET.

  • Money line: Angels -115 (bet $115 to win $100) | Mariners -105 (bet $105 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Angels -1.5 (+140) | Mariners +1.5 (-165)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Mariners 4, Angels 2

Money line (ML)

GIMME the MARINERS (-105) for 1.25 units because Flexen has been one of the more profitable starting pitchers to bet on this season. Seattle is 11-4 in games he starts and Flexen has been lights out at home.

Furthermore, the Mariners are 28-19 at home, 17-12 against left-handed starters and 19-8 in one-run games.

Finally, this is one of the few instances in MLB regular-season betting where I’m looking to “fade the market” because I have a hunch Angels DH Shohei Ohtani‘s superstardom gets the public to bet on the Angels.

According to Pregame.com, more than 50% of the cash wagered has been on L.A. but oddsmakers haven’t moved the opening line much.

It would appear as if the House is OK booking Angels bets and will be rooting for the Mariners Saturday. Let’s roll with the House and BET the MARINERS (-105) for 1 unit.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS because Seattle’s listed run line is a little too rich for my blood and the Mariners -1.5 (+190) on the alternate run line is a no-go since Seattle is 5-12 ATS as a home favorite this season with a minus-1.9 run line margin.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 8.5 (-115) for one-third of a unit because the presumed “sharp” money is on the Under despite a majority of the situational trends pointing to a higher scoring affair and these teams having a combined 15-8 O/U record when these starters take the mound.

Not only is it typically wiser to follow the money in sports betting, especially when it’s opposite of where the public is betting, but Seattle’s ballpark is a notoriously pitcher-friendly venue.

Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (44-42) travel to T-Mobile Park Friday to start a three-game series with the host Seattle Mariners (46-42) at 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Angels vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Mariners lead 4-3.

RHP Alex Cobb makes his 13th start for the Angels. Cobb is 6-3 with a 4.60 ERA (60 2/3 IP, 31 ER), 1.22 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 this year.

LHP Marco Gonzales is Seattle’s projected starter. Gonzales is 1-5 with a 5.82 ERA (51 IP, 33 ER), 1.45 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 8.1 K/9 across 10 starts.

  • Money line: Angels -120 (bet $120 to win $100) | Mariners +100 (bet $100 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Angels -1.5 (+135) | Mariners +1.5 (-160)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Mariners 4, Angels 1

Money line (ML)

Listen, I’m all for fading Seattle when Gonzales is on the mound when the situation warrants it, but this ain’t the spot.

Gonzales has beaten the Angels in four straight starts (three of them were deemed “quality starts”) plus L.A.’s lineup should be easier to work through since both Mike Trout and 3B Anthony Rendon are on the IL.

Also, Cobb pitches a lot better at home than on the road this season. Cobb is 2-2 on the road with a 7.77 ERA (2.48 home ERA), 1.64 WHIP (0.94 home WHIP), and 21 of his 31 home runs allowed have been in away games.

Furthermore, we are seeing some “reverse line movement” in the betting market as nearly three-fourths of the money wagered is on L.A.’s money line (according to Pregame.com), but the House is making the Angels cheaper.

This game opened with L.A. laying -130 and has been steamed down despite the overwhelming support within the betting market, and it’s a red flag in sports betting when oddsmakers make the more popular side cheaper.

Lastly, Cobb needs to give the Angels a quality start because Seattle’s bullpen is far better than L.A.’s.

For example, the Mariners relievers are second in both WAR and xFIP while the Angels’ bullpen is 20th in WAR and 23rd in xFIP.

BET the MARINERS (+100) for 1.25 units.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS because Seattle’s full game and First 5 Innings run lines are a little too rich for my blood even though the Mariners are 20-9 ATS this season at home, and the Angels are just 5-9 ATS as a road favorite.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 8.5 (-105) for a half-unit since we are seeing a similar “reverse line movement” towards the Under, Seattle’s ballpark is notoriously pitcher-friendly, and the Mariners are 19-25-2 O/U at home this season.

That being said, Seattle’s money line is by far my favorite play in the Angels-Mariners game.

Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (13-12) meet the Seattle Mariners (15-13) Sunday for the rubber match of their three-game series at T-Mobile Park. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Angels vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Dylan Bundy gets the start for the Angels Sunday. Bundy is 0-2 with a 4.20 ERA (30 IP, 14 ER), 1.10 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 across 5 starts.

  • Last outing: No-decision in 6 IP with 2 ER, 3 H, 1 BB and 6 K in L.A.’s 4-2 win at the Houston Astros April 25.
  • Career vs. the Mariners: 3-2 with a 2.45 ERA (40 1/3 IP, 11 ER), 0.87 WHIP and 10.0 K/9 over 5 starts and 2 relief appearances.
    • Vs. Mariners on current roster: 51 at-bats with a .176/.250/.294 slash line, 1 HR and 4 RBIs.
    • Career at Seattle’s ballpark: 1-1 with a 2.65 ERA (17 IP, 5 ER), 0.94 WHIP and 10.6 K/9 in 2 starts and 1 relief appearance.

LHP Justus Sheffield makes his fifth start Sunday for the Mariners. Sheffield is 1-2 with a 5.32 ERA (22 IP, 13 ER), 1.59 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 8.2 K/9 this season.

Angels at Mariners odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10:44 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Angels -155 (bet $155 to win $100) | Mariners +125 (bet $100 to win $125) |
  • Against the spread/ATS: Angels -1.5 (+105) | Mariners +1.5 (-130)
  • Over/Under: 8 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Angels 6, Mariners 2

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the ANGELS (-155) for a three-fourths unit because of the vig and I’d like to parse my L.A. bet between its money line and run line.

That being said, the Angels have two bona-fide MVP candidates raking in CF Mike Trout and DH/RHP Shohei Ohtani, and the 2019 NL MVP in 3B Anthony Rendon, whose Statcast metrics suggest he’s due for a breakout.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Bundy is L.A.’s ace and despite his ho-hum ERA, he does have a lower FIP and his exit velocity and hard-hit rate are far better than the MLB average.

Furthermore, Statcast grades Bundy out in the 94th percentile of chase%, 92nd percentile of fastball spin rate—which is huge because the four-seam fastball is Bundy’s most used—and the 76th percentile of expected wOBA.

Also, L.A. lineup’s advanced hitting metrics against left-handed pitching is rather mediocre so far this season, but the Angels have drilled Sheffield in both of his starts against them in 2020.

BET ANGELS -1.5 (+105) for a half unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS on the total since I like the Angels lineup vs. Sheffield, but these teams are a combined 2-7 O/U with these two starters on the mound and we are betting L.A.’s run line in part because of the expectation Bundy pitches a quality start.
