Mariners vs Angels Prediction
The current betting odds have the Angels listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Angels have been up and down in their games lately as they try to pull themselves back into the playoff race this season but they do have a good pitching matchup in this game and will be able to take advantage of it. The Mariners have their rookie Miller starting in this game and he has been alright this season but lately he has been giving up more runs in his starts. The Angels have been up and down but even in their losses they are putting up runs since they have one of the best offenses in the entire MLB so they are going to get after Miller in this game, especially since this is a huge division series for them to get back in this playoff race. The Mariners have been rolling in their games lately as they have been very hot out of the All-Star break but their pitching hasn't been great lately as their offense has been bailing them out in a lot of games. The Angels are going with Silseth in this game and he has been pitching well lately not giving up many runs and he is going to make the Mariners struggle more to put up runs in this game. The Angels also have a really hot offense themselves and with the way the Mariners have been pitching lately, the Angels will put up some runs in this game and should be able to overpower the Mariners with their offense. The best way to place a bet here is on the Angels to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“I know he was frustrated that it didn’t happen earlier in the game because he had some chances there. But the one thing about him is he’s always positive. When he goes up there, good things are going to happen.” - Scott Servais on Eugenio Suarez after his team’s win against the LA Angels in their game on Friday.
“Positives is winning games and we're not right now. We had plenty of offense. We've got to get ahead of hitters. The walks killed us today. We have to fix things. This isn't the time to let guys work through things. We talk about urgency. Everything is still in front of us.” - Phil Nevin after his team’s loss against the Mariners in their game on Friday.
