Mariners vs Angels Prediction: Mariners -173
The Seattle Mariners enter this game on a strong winning streak, having won their last five games. This performance is bolstered by their solid home record of 44-27, which gives them an edge playing at T-Mobile Park. The Mariners’ consistent ability to secure victories as favorites, with a 56-45 record, further supports picking them to win.
On the other hand, the Los Angeles Angels have struggled on the road with a record of 32-39. Although they have some recent success, winning two straight, their inconsistency throughout the season makes them a less reliable choice against a tough Mariners team. Additionally, the Mariners have a better divisional record, providing them with more confidence in this matchup.
Starting pitcher Bryce Miller will be looking to capitalize on the Mariners’ momentum despite his higher ERA. The Mariners’ batting stats, ranking 9th in slugging percentage and 3rd in home runs, will likely be a significant challenge for the Angels’ pitching. The Angels’ José Soriano, though solid, may find it difficult to contain Seattle’s potent lineup.
Given the Mariners’ recent form and home advantage, they are well-positioned to continue their winning ways. I anticipate a close game, but the Mariners should pull through with a 5-3 victory over the Angels.
- Mariners vs Angels Prediction: Mariners -173
- Mariners vs Angels Score: Mariners 5 – Angels 3
