  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Angels 4, Mariners 3

Money line (ML)

The Mariners have won three of their last five games against the Angels. They took two of three just before the All-Star Break in Seattle and have split the first two games of this series. While they are 20-24 on the road this season they have won five of their last eight away from home.

The Angels are 27-21 at Angel Stadium this season. They are 10-5 in their last 15 games and have won four of Sandoval’s last five starts.

Take the ANGELS (-135).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Seattle is 52-41 ATS this season, the third-best ATS record in baseball. The M’s are 25-19 ATS on the road and have covered the spread in four of their last six games.

The Angels are 42-49 ATS overall and 23-25 ATS at home. L.A. has covered just four of its twelve games against Seattle this year.

I expect an Angels win but a Mariners cover. Take the MARINERS +1.5 (-175).

Over/Under (O/U)

The first two games of the series have had totals of 11 and 13 runs. Angels Stadium has the highest Over percentage in the league at 66.0% and six of the last eight games there have had totals of more than 8 runs.

Six of Gilbert’s 10 starts have had totals of fewer than nine runs and Sandoval pitched superbly in his last outing.

Take UNDER 8.5 (-105).

Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and prediction

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

The Seattle Mariners (49-43) and Los Angeles Angels (45-45) play the second game of a three-game set Saturday at Angel Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 9:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mariners vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Yusei Kikuchi is the projected starting pitcher for the Mariners. He is 6-4 with a 3.48 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 over 98 1/3 IP across 16 starts.

Kikuchi coughed up five runs, eight hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings in a home loss to the New York Yankees July 7 in his most recent outing.

The southpaw has just one start against the Halos this season, allowing four runs (three earned) and six hits over four innings in a no-decision June 5 in Anaheim.

RHP Alex Cobb is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels. He is 6-3 with a 4.23 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 10.1 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 across 66 IP in 13 starts.

Cobb allowed two unearned runs, four hits and three walks with five strikeouts in his most recent start, a no-decision at the Seattle Mariners July 9. He beat the M’s at home June 5, allowing five runs in seven innings.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The ANGELS -1.5 (+155) are worth a roll of the dice. The Halos won 12-5 in Cobb’s previous outing against the Mariners in Anaheim, and they have covered the run line in five of his past eight starts.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 8.5 (-105) is the play. The Over has cashed in each of Cobb’s starts against the Mariners, and the Over is 5-1 in his previous six outings overall. The Over is 4-2 in Seattle’s past six outings with Kikuchi on the bump, too.

Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and prediction

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

The Seattle Mariners (48-43) travel to Angel Stadium Friday to start a three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels (45-44). First pitch is scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mariners vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Mariners lead 6-4.

RHP Chris Flexen is Seattle’s projected starter. Flexen is 8-3 with a 3.51 ERA (92 1/3 IP, 36 ER), 1.21 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 across 16 starts.

  • Last outing: Win, 2-0, with 7 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 2 BB and 6 K Saturday against the Angels.
  • Flexen is 1-0 against L.A. this season with a 2.45 ERA (11 IP, 3 ER), 7 H, 3 BB and 6 K in two starts.
  • vs. Angels on the current roster: 34 at-bats with a .176/.237/.294 slash line, 6/3 K/BB, 1 HR and 3 RBIs.

LHP Andrew Heaney is on the rubber for the Angels. Heaney is 5-6 with a 5.38 ERA (77 IP, 46 ER), 1.35 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 11.0 K/9 over 15 starts.

  • Last outing: Win, 5-4, with 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 2 BB and 5 K July 7 vs. the Boston Red Sox.
  • Heaney took a loss April 30 vs. the Mariners with a stat line of 3 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 2 BB and 5 K in L.A.’s 7-4 loss at Seattle.
  • vs. Mariners on the current roster: 82 at-bats with a .305/.380/.610 slash line, 22/9 K/BB, 6 HR and 12 RBIs.

Mariners at Angels odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 7:52 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Mariners +145 (bet $100 to win $145) | Angels -175 (bet $175 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Mariners +1.5 (-135) | Angels -1.5 (+110)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Mariners 6, Angels 4

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the MARINERS (+145) for a half unit since I “like” their run line and Seattle has a winning record in the division and vs. left-handed starters, whereas L.A. has a losing record vs. the AL West and are 30-30 against right-handed starters.

However, the Mariners are below-.500 in away games this season and Flexen has been far more effective in Seattle than on the road while the Angels are 26-20 in L.A. this year.

Also, if this game is close late, I expect the Mariners to pull it out since they have much better bullpen pitching (second in WAR and the Angels rank 22nd in WAR) and are 19-8 in one-run games this season.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

BET the MARINERS +0.5 (+105) FIRST 5 INNINGS for 1 unit because Seattle has a significant edge in the starting pitching department and this is a solid price point given that matchup.

Heaney’s pitching peripherals vs. Seattle are much worse than Flexen’s against L.A.

For instance, Heaney has a 6.41 FIP, .383 expected wOBA and .544 expected slugging percentage against active Mariners hitters.

While Flexen has a 4.05 FIP, .214 expected wOBA and .241 expected slugging percentage vs. current Angels batters.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS because the angle I’m using to back the Mariners in this spot is their edge in starting and bullpen pitching, but the situational trends suggest an Over so I’m just going to stay away from the total.

The Angels are a top-7 lineup in the majors at home in the advanced hitting metrics of hard-hit rate, wOBA, OPS and wRC+ and they have an MLB-high 64.4% Over rate at home this season (29-16-1 O/U record).

On the other side, the Mariners have the second-highest Over rate this season on the road at 63.4% (26-15-1 O/U record).

Plus Heaney and Flexen went head-to-head in Seattle’s 7-4 April 30 victory and that went Over the 8-run total.
