Mariners Trying To Make Up Ground In AL West

Los Angeles Angels Recap
The Los Angeles Angels will try to rebound from their loss to Seattle in Friday’s opener. The loss was just another brick in the wall for the Angels, who have still lost series against the Tigers, Blue Jays, and Royals over the last week and a half.

- The Mariners have lost eight of their last 10 games as favorites against AL West opponents.
- The Mariners have failed to cover the run line in eight of their last nine road games after playing the previous day.
- The Angels have covered the run line in seven of their last eight games as underdogs against AL West opponents following a home loss.
LA Angels vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m going back to the under here. We saw 14 runs on Friday, but the way these two teams have played over the second half of the season, I think that was more of an anomaly more than anything else. Woo has been outstanding for the Mariners for much of the year, while Anderson has been regressing but the Mariners haven’t been very good against lefties for some time now. I think this one’s going to see a big time struggle offensively. Give me the under here.
