Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Texas Rangers (33-35) and Seattle Mariners (40-31) open a 3-game set at T-Mobile Park Friday. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rangers vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 2-1

The Rangers took 2 of 3 at the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday through Thursday, wrapping up the series with a 3-1 win as +163 underdogs with the Under (8.5) hitting. RHP Michael Lorenzen allowed just 1 ER in a season-high 7 innings to secure Texas’ 1st series road win against the Dodgers since 1999.

The Mariners failed to complete a 4-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox. They lost 3-2 in the series finale as +100 underdogs as the Under (6.5) cashed.

Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 3, Rangers 2

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-145) are 20-6 in their last 26 games at T-Mobile Park, while the Rangers are just 6-11 in their last 17 on the road. Texas may also be due for a letdown coming off its 1st series win at the Dodgers in over 20 years.

BET MARINERS (-145).

Run line/Against the spread

The Rangers +1.5 (-185) will likely hit, but it’s hard to beat MLB long term betting into 35-cent lines.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

While Heaney has struggled overall this season, he has allowed a total of just 3 runs over his last 3 starts. Castillo has allowed 2 ER or fewer in 10 of his last 11 starts, and the Under has gone 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings between these teams.

BET UNDER 7 (+100).

Chicago White Sox at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Chicago White Sox at Seattle Mariners and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago White Sox (17-52) take on the Seattle Mariners (40-30) Thursday in the finale of a 4-game set at T-Mobile Park at 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 3-0

The White Sox got a game-tying homer from OF Luis Robert Jr. in the 9th inning Wednesday, but they lost their 4th straight. The Chi Sox are last in MLB with 3.1 R/game, last with a .217 BA and 29th with a 4.91 ERA.

The M’s have taken the first 3 games of the series 8-4, 4-3 and 2-1 in 10 innings Wednesday. Their bread and butter is their 7th-best 3.51 ERA. They are just tied for 24th with 3.9 runs/game. The scary part is OF Julio Rodriguez has yet to take off with a .268 BA, 5 HR and 25 RBIs, but the team remains 10 games over .500.

White Sox at Mariners projected starters

LHP Garrett Crochet vs. RHP Luis Castillo

Crochet (6-5, 3.33 ERA) makes his 15th start. He has a 0.93 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and an MLB-leading 12.3 K/9 in 75 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 10 K Friday against Boston Red Sox
  • Has never faced Mariners before
  • Last 7 starts: 5-1, 1.10 ERA, 0.78 WHIP, 56 K’s in 41 IP

Castillo (5-7, 3.35 ERA) makes his 15th start. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 9.2 K/9 in 83 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 5 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 4 K Saturday against Kansas City Royals
  • 3 career starts vs. White Sox: 1-0, 2.33 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 23 K in 19 1/3 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

White Sox at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 4, Mariners 3

Moneyline

Chicago has gone 3-2 in Crochet’s last 5 starts, and for a team that only has 6 wins in its last 30 games, that’s important. Essentially half of the team’s wins over the last month have come with Crochet on the hill. And he has been dominant with 29 K’s in 18 IP over his last 3 GS. Meanwhile, Castillo hasn’t been himself. His 9.2 K/9 is the lowest it has been since 2021.

It’s always risky betting on such a bad team, but I’ll back Crochet and the WHITE SOX +130.

Run line/Against the spread

For as bad of a team as the White Sox are, they don’t strike out a ton. They’re 19th in MLB with 8.55 per game. For reference, the Atlanta Braves are worse with 8.66. Granted, Atlanta pulverizes the ball more than the Chi Sox.

With that said, and with Castillo’s K-rate down, I really like LUIS CASTILLO UNDER 6.5 K’s (+115). He hasn’t topped 6 K’s in 5 straight starts. I’ll take that plus-money to the bank.

Over/Under

We have a miniscule total here at 6. It makes sense with a couple of talented starters and a couple of bad offenses. There is only 1 play here, and that’s on the Over.

Castillo gave up 5 ER to the Royals last time out and allowed 2+ ER in 6 of 7 starts. Crochet has been dominant, but he hasn’t gone more than 6 IP in 7 starts. We had totals of 12, 7 and 3 in the series thus far. The wind is expected to be blowing in from left-center on a 68-degree evening. However, you have to go with OVER 6 (-120).

Chicago White Sox at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Chicago White Sox at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago White Sox (17-51) and Seattle Mariners (39-30) play the 3rd contest in a 4-game series at T-Mobile Park Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 2-0

The White Sox have dropped 3 in a row, including the first 2 of this series. Chicago pitching has been a disaster for most of the season, and lately is no exception. The White Sox have allowed 18 runs in the past 3 outings, or 6.0 runs per game, and they have yielded at least 4 runs in 9 of the past 11 contests.

Wednesday’s starter, RHP Jonathan Cannon, was recalled from Triple-A in early June, and he appeared in relief against the Boston Red Sox Friday, working 3 scoreless innings with 3 hits allowed to pick up the traditional save in a 7-2 win.

The Mariners are 6½ games clear of the Texas Rangers for 1st place in the AL West, and a large part of their success is playing at home. Seattle is 23-11 at T-Mobile Park while winning 9 of the past 10 at home since May 15.

White Sox at Mariners projected starters

RHP Jonathan Cannon vs. RHP Bryce Miller

Cannon (0-1, 5.94 ERA, 1 SV) makes his 4th start and 5th appearance. He has a 1.62 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 9.2 K/9 in 16 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 4 ER, 8 H (2 HR), 2 BB, 5 K in 8-7 home win in 10 innings vs. Tampa Bay Rays April 27
  • 2024 road splits: 0-1, 14.73 ERA (3 2/3 IP, 6 ER), 2.73 WHIP, .474 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 0 HR, 1 BB, 5 K in 1 start

Miller (5-5, 3.81 ERA) makes his 14th start. He has a 1.02 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 in 75 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 7 ER, 6 H (1 HR), 3 BB, 1 K in 10-9 road loss vs. Kansas City Royals Friday
  • 2024 home splits: 4-2, 2.13 ERA (42 1/3 IP, 10 ER), 0.87 WHIP, .169 OBA, 3 HR, 12 BB, 51 K in 7 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

White Sox at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, White Sox 2

Moneyline

The Mariners (-240) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and while the White Sox (+198) have been awful, that’s too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

Chicago pitching has been atrocious, and it is using a guy who hasn’t started a game since late April. Miller has been very good at home, too, as has Seattle in general. However, this is too much to risk straight up.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The MARINERS -1.5 (-115) are worth playing on the run line, although it’s not nearly as attractive as getting plus-money laying the run and a half.

There is risk, too, as Seattle has won 3 in a row, but 2 of those victories are in 1-run games. That includes Tuesday’s 4-3 victory over the White Sox. In fact, the M’s have been involved in 8 games decided by a single run in the past 15 outings, going 6-2 in those contests. Be careful.

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (+100) is a solid play at even-money. Cannon makes his way back into the starting rotation after receiving more seasoning in the minors. He looked good in a low-leverage situation for the traditional save last time out against Boston, but it remains to be seen how he’ll react on the road back in the rotation against a tough team with good bats at home.

Look for the M’s to do most of the heavy lifting for the Over, especially once it gets into the ChiSox ‘pen.

Season series: Kansas City leads 3-2

The Mariners have dug themselves into a 2-0 hole this series after losing 8-4 Saturday while failing to cover as -127 road underdogs. Seattle lost 10-9 on Friday.

Kansas City trailed 3-2 before scoring 5 runs in the 5th and 6th to take control. RHP Alec Marsh got the win (5 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 8 K) as the Royals won their 3rd consecutive game.

Mariners at Royals projected starters

RHP George Kirby vs. LHP Cole Ragans

Mariners at Royals picks and predictions

Prediction

Royals 5, Mariners 4

LEAN ROYALS (-115).

Kansas City is 3-0 in its last 3 games and is also 3-0 in its last 3 home games. The Royals are 3-1 in their last 4 matchups vs. Seattle.

This is only a lean because Seattle is 6-4 in its last 10 while KC is only 4-6 in its last 10 and because the Mariners are 7-3 in their last 10 matchups with the Royals.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS. 

No value here. Stick to the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-105).

The Over has hit in the 1st 2 games of the series. For Kansas City, the Over is 4-1 in its last 5 home games and 6-4 in its last 10 overall. The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 Royals-Mariners meetings in KC.

Seattle Mariners at Kansas City Royals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Seattle Mariners at Kansas City Royals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Kansas City Royals (37-26) welcome the Seattle Mariners (36-28) to Kauffman Stadium Friday for the opener of a 3-game series. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. Royals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 2-1

The Mariners have been on a roll, winning 9 of their last 11 games. However, they are just 15-17 on the road this season. Seattle is coming off a 3-0 win over the Oakland A’s Thursday, closing that 3-game series with 2 wins. Seattle’s recent success has helped it surge to 1st in the AL West. It is 31-33 against the spread (ATS).

The Royals are 22-10 at home, the 4th-best record in the MLB. They have struggled as of late, losing 7 of their last 10 and falling to 2nd in the AL Central. Kansas City beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-3 Thursday, closing as a +149 underdog. The Royals are 38-25 ATS, the best run-line record in the majors.

Mariners at Royals projected starters

RHP Bryce Miller vs. LHP Daniel Lynch IV

Miller (5-5, 3.18 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 0.96 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 in 70 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 9 K in a 9-0 home win against the Los Angeles Angels Saturday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at Royals picks and predictions

Prediction

Royals 6, Mariners 4

Moneyline

BET ROYALS (+110).

The Mariners have been playing well, but that success hasn’t translated to when they’re away from home. Seattle is 3-5 straight up over their last 8 games, and it is 2-3 in Miller’s last 5 starts.

The Royals have up 7 runs in Lynch IV’s last start, but he had a strong outing, allowing just 2 in 5 IP. Kansas City is 8-2 over its last 10 games and has been dominant at home.

Expect that to continue and back ROYALS (+110).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The run-line doesn’t have much value here.

The Royals (-152) are too expensive as a run-line underdog, although that is the preferred play over the Mariners (+126), who are too risky to take as a road favorite.

Over/Under

BET OVER 9 (-110).

The Royals have gone 11-5 O/U in their last 16 games and 4-2 O/U in their last 6. They also went over on Lynch IV’s most recent start.

The Mariners have hit the Over in 2 of their last 6, but they have topped the total in 5 of Miller’s last 6 starts. They have allowed 26 runs in Miller’s last 5 starts.

Couple the recent performance from both teams when this specific pitcher is starting and back OVER 9 (-110).

Seattle Mariners at Oakland A’s odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Seattle Mariners at Oakland A’s odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Mariners (35-28) and Oakland A’s (25-38) conclude their 3-game series Thursday. First pitch from Oakland Coliseum is slated for 3:37 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. A’s odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 3-2

The Mariners could not get anything going offensively until a 9th inning solo shot from CF Julio Rodriguez and lost 2-1 to the A’s on Wednesday. RHP Logan Gilbert was the hard luck loser (7 IP, 2 R 1 ER, 5 H, 0 BB 5 K). The loss snapped a 4-game winning streak for Seattle.

The A’s got a brilliant effort from starting RHP Joey Estes. The 22-year-old struck out 5 in 6 1/3 IP of 1-hit ball while 2B Zack Gelof had a solo HR. Oakland is looking to end a 3-series losing streak on Thursday.

Mariners at A’s projected starters

RHP Bryan Woo vs. LHP JP Sears

Woo (2-0, 1.30 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 0.58 WHIP, 0.7 BB/9 and 5.9 K/9 in 27 2/3 IP

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 2 K in 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels Friday
  • Last start vs A’s: No-decision, 4 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 K in 8-1 victory on May 10

Sears (4-4, 4.01 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.11 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 6.0 K/9 in 67 1/3 IP

  • Last start: Loss, 7 IP, 4 ER), 6 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 4-2 loss at the Atlanta Braves Friday
  • 2023 vs A’s: 0-1, 2.70 ERA (16 2/3 IP, 5 ER) in 3 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

A’s 4, Mariners 3

Moneyline.

BET A’S (+118).

Sears has owned the Mariners in his career. He’s got a 1.65 ERA in 6 games against Oakland. He also has better splits at home, JP is 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA in 5 starts. The A’s also shut down Seattle on Wednesday night. They are just 3 games under .500 at the Oakland Coliseum this season.

Woo has looked good, but has struggled on the road. He’s allowed 9 ER over his last 3 home starts dating back to last year.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I’m putting my unit bet on the moneyline and avoid the run line.

Over/Under

PASS.

My lean is to the Under (+102) but this bet is basically a coin toss. These teams are 5-4 against the Over in their last 9 meetings.

Seattle Mariners at Oakland A’s odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Seattle Mariners at Oakland A’s odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Mariners (35-27) play the middle game of their 3-game road series at the Oakland A’s (24-38) Wednesday. First pitch from Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is at 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. A’s odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 3-1

Seattle won Tuesday’s opener 4-3 as a -153 favorite with the Under (7.5) sneaking in as a winner. RHP George Kirby (5 IP, 2 ER) struck out 9 in notching his 1st win in his last 5 starts, 1B Ty France drove in 2 runs and 3B Josh Rojas went 3 for 5 with a run and an RBI.

The Mariners have won 4 games in a row and 8 of their last 9. They lead the AL West by 5½ games.

The A’s have lost 5 of their last 6 games, including 2 in a row, and have lost their last 3 series. Seven of their 9 starters recorded a hit Tuesday, including 2 hits from CF JJ Bleday, but Oakland couldn’t overcome a 4-1 lead Seattle built in the first 3½ innings.

Mariners at A’s projected starters

RHP Logan Gilbert vs. RHP Joey Estes

Gilbert (3-3, 3.29 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.00 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 through 76 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 4 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 4-0 home loss to Houston Astros Thursday
  • Career vs. A’s: 2-0, 3.33 ERA (51 1/3 IP, 19 ER), 0.96 WHIP, 7.2 K/9 in 9 starts
  • 2023 vs. A’s: 1-0, 2.57 ERA (14 IP, 4 ER), 6 H, 2 BB 12 K in 2 starts
  • Last 5 starts: 0-3, 5.97 ERA (28 2/3 IP, 19 ER), 1.36 WHIP, 6.6 K/9

Estes (1-1, 6.10 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 20 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No decision, 5 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 2 B, 5 K in 4-3 road loss at Tampa Bay Rays May 29
  • Picked up 8-1 win in 1st start of season over Mariners May 11, allowing 1 run in 5 innings
  • Career vs. Mariners: 1-1, 5.59 ERA (9 2/3 IP, 6 ER), 8 H, 1 BB, 7 K in 2 starts

  • Moneyline (ML): Mariners -160 (bet $160 to win $100) | A’s +135 (bet $100 to win $135)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Mariners -1.5 (+110) | A’s +1.5 (-130)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 8 (O: -115 | U: -105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, A’s 4

Moneyline

The Mariners are rolling right now, having won 4 straight and 8 of 9. They have beaten the A’s in 15 of the last 17 head-to-head meetings — Seattle won 12 of 13 vs. Oakland last season.

Gilbert has struggled a little bit over the last month, but as mentioned, he is 2-0 with a 3.33 ERA in 9 career starts against the A’s.

It’s right on the edge of where you want to bet in terms of value, but BET MARINERS (-160).

Run line/Against the spread

Seattle has had 4 one-run victories in its last 7 wins, so it’s risky to bet the M’s -1.5 (+110) here.

Three of Oakland’s last 5 losses have been by only 1 run, but I’m not interested in backing the A’s +1.5 (-130) since they’re struggling at the moment.

PASS.

Over/Under

Five of the last 6 meetings between these AL West rivals have had 9 or more total runs.

Gilbert’s ERA over his last 5 starts suggests the A’s will get a few runs. Plus, Seattle finished with 8 in 2 of its 3 wins vs. Oakland this season.

BET OVER 8 (-115).

The Seattle Mariners (34-27) and Oakland A’s (24-37) open a 3-game set at Oakland Coliseum Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. A’s odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 2-1

Seattle completed a 3-game home sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, winning 5-1 as a -204 favorite Sunday with the Under (7) hitting. RHP Luis Castillo allowed just 2 hits in 7 shutout innings for the Mariners, who have won 7 of their last 9 games.

Oakland dropped 2 of 3 games at the Atlanta Braves over the weekend. The A’s lost 3-1 as +219 underdogs in the series finale Sunday as the Under (8.5) cashed. The A’s have lost 4 of their last 5 games.

Mariners at A’s projected starters

RHP George Kirby vs. RHP Mitch Spence

Kirby (4-5, 4.08 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.02 WHIP, 0.8 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 in 68 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 8 K in 2-1 home win in 10 innings over Houston Astros Wednesday
  • 2024 road stats: 0-4, 5.63 ERA (32 IP, 20 ER), 1.22 WHIP, 6.5 K/9 in 6 starts
  • Career vs. A’s: 3-0, 4.19 ERA (34 1/3 IP, 16 ER), 1.28 WHIP, 7.9 K/9 in 6 starts, including 2-0 with 3.86 ERA (14 IP, 6 ER) in 2 starts last season

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 3, A’s 2

Moneyline

The Mariners (-160) will likely win, but they’re a little overpriced, especially since they’re just 4-8 over their last 12 road games.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

Seattle (-1.5, +105) has struggled away from home recently and hasn’t won a road series since taking 2 of 3 games at the Houston Astros May 3-5. Kirby has been part of the problem, allowing 4 or more earned runs in 3 straight road starts.

Spence has allowed a total of just 3 runs over his 3 career starts (13 IP) and is coming off 5 1/3 shutout innings at Tampa Bay. The rookie should be able to do just enough to keep the A’s within striking distance.

BET A’S +1.5 (-130).

Over/Under

Spence hasn’t allowed more than 2 earned runs in a start, and the Mariners have scored 3 runs or fewer in 4 of their last 5 road games.

The risk here, however, is that Kirby has given up 14 earned runs over his last 3 road starts (17 IP). Oakland’s 27th-ranked offense (3.79 runs per game) may not be able to take advantage, though.

LEAN UNDER 7.5 (+100).

The Los Angeles Angels (21-37) and Seattle Mariners (33-27) wrap up a 3-game series Sunday at T-Mobile Park. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 2-0

The Mariners picked up a 9-0 win in the middle game of the set Saturday after opening the series Friday with a 5-4 win. The Over has cashed in each game. Seattle has picked up 4 straight wins in the series, while going 8-1 in the past 9 dating back to Aug. 3, 2023.

The Angels have dropped 4 in a row, while going 1-7 in the past 8 games since May 24. The Over has hit in 3 in a row, while going 7-4 across the past 11 contests.

For the Mariners, the shutout win was the first one at home since March 29 ( vs. the Boston Red Sox) and the 5th shutout win of the season. Seattle has picked up wins in 6 of the past 7 outings.

Angels at Mariners projected starters

RHP Griffin Canning vs. RHP Luis Castillo

Canning (2-4, 5.08 ERA) makes his 12th start. He has a 1.45 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 6.5 K/9 in 56 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 3 ER, 9 H, 1 HR, 2 BB, 5 K in 4-3 home victory vs. New York Yankees May 28
  • 2024 road splits: 0-4, 6.04 ERA (25 1/3 IP, 17 ER), 1.38 WHIP, .290 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 5 HR, 6 BB, 19 K in 5 starts

  • Moneyline (ML): Angels +176 (bet $100 to win $176) | Mariners -210 (bet $210 to win $100)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Angels +1.5 (-125) | Mariners -1.5 (+104)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, Angels 3

Moneyline

The Mariners (-210) will cost 2.1 times the potential return, which is way too much risk for not enough reward.

The Angels (+176) are a tempting play, especially since Canning has been a little better lately. However, he has been a disaster on the road, losing all 4 of his decisions away from home, while posting a 6.04 ERA.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The MARINERS -1.5 (+104) are a solid play at plus-money on the run line.

Seattle won and covered the run line as a favorite Saturday in a 9-0 whitewashing of Los Angeles. However, be careful, as the M’s are just 3-4 in the past 7 games on the run line as favorites.

The Angels are just 1-6 in the past 7 games, but they’ve cashed 5 of the past 7 on the run line as underdogs.

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (+100) is a decent play in the series finale.

The Over has cashed in each of the first 2 games in this series, with 9 total runs in each of the outings.

The Over has cashed in 3 straight games for the Angels, while going 7-4 in their past 11 outings.

For the Mariners, the 2 Over results in this series halted a 4-0 run to the Under.
