Mariners at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 5, Angels 4
Moneyline
PASS.
The Mariners are a strong, rightful favorite, and at -174, they are too expensive to play on the moneyline. Pass on the Angels’ winning streak continuing as well.
Run line/Against the spread
BET ANGELS +1.5 (-118).
The Mariners have been a streaky team. Since June 29, they have a 4-game and a pair of 2-game losing streaks and a 2-game and 3-game winning streak. They are just 3-5 ATS over their last 8 games and just 24-38 ATS as a favorite.
Meanwhile, the Angels are 21-18 ATS after a win. As an underdog, which teams typically have a higher covering rate as, the Angels sit in the top half of the league at 49-33 ATS. Despite the pitching advantage, the Mariners haven’t often taken advantage of Gilbert’s excellence on the mound.
Considering those trends, back ANGELS +1.5 (-118) to keep things close.
Over/Under
BET OVER 8.5 (-110).
Both teams have been trending toward more runs as of late. The Angels have scored at least 4 runs in 4 of their last 6 Games and are 4-1-1 O/U in those. Los Angeles has allowed at least 5 runs in 5 of its last 7.
The Mariners are 5-2 O/U in their last 7 games and have scored at least 4 as well in 5 of their last 7. With that in mind, back OVER 8.5 (-110).
