Mariners at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 6, Angels 4
The MARINERS (-160) are a nice play as moderate favorites in this series finale. Seattle has picked up 3 wins in the past 5 outings, while the Angels are a dismal 1-5 in the past 6 outings.
Seattle is 5-1 in the past 6 starts with Gilbert on the hill, while L.A. is just 2-3 in the past 5 outings with Hendricks on the mound.
If you’re a little more adventurous, the MARINERS -1.5 (+100) are worth playing lightly on the road.
The Angels have not only dropped 5 of the past 6 games, but they’ve lost those 5 outings by 13 total runs, or 2.6 runs per game. Only one of the losses was in a 1-run game.
Be careful, though, as Seattle is just 1-5 on the run line in the past 6 games as a favorite.
OVER 9 (+100) is worth a look, but go lightly, playing a half-unit at most.
The Over cashed in Saturday’s game, ever so barely, and the Under is 4-2 in the past 6 for the Mariners, and the Under is 3-1-1 in the past 5 outings for the Angels. So, you’ll be going against the trends a bit.
However, Gilbert has been giving on the road, and Hendricks has been very giving, regardless of venue.
