Angels at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 5, Angels 3
Moneyline
PASS.
The Mariners are a little too pricey here, and although there is more risk to the equation, the better value is the home side’s run line here.
Run line/Against the spread
LEAN MARINERS -1.5 (+130).
Seattle is 15-15 ATS at home and is 10-13 ATS as a home favorite, which both sit in the top half of the league. It is 14-19 ATS as a favorite in general, which also sits in the top half.
It will have a significant pitching advantage as Detmers has struggled both throughout the entirety of the season and on the road. The Angels have given up a combined 36 runs in his last 5 starts.
Considering the difference in pitchers and Seattle’s strength at home, back MARINERS -1.5 (+130).
Over/Under
BET OVER 7.5 (+100).
The best value in this game is on the Over. Both teams have been trending towards that being the better option.
The Angels are 6-4 O/U in their last 10 games and have struggled to contain teams with Detmers on the mound, going Over in his last 6 starts. They are 31-25-1 O/U on the season.
The Mariners have gone Over in 6 of their last 13 Games and are 3-1 O/U in the last 4 Games that Miller has started.
Back OVER 7.5 (+100).
