LA Angels vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’m going to look towards the under here. I just don’t trust either of these batting orders as the Angels just look like a team that’s going through the motions to close out the year, while the Mariners have watched their division lead vanish and are almost trying too hard to make up the ground on the Astros and have seen their offensive production suffer as a result. A lot of the meetings between these two have been tight and low-scoring and I think we could see more of the same here. Give me the under in this one.
