George Kirby has been terrific this season and the Seattle Mariners are obviously the better team here, so there's value with the road team and the cheap price. However, we're getting Shohei Ohtani on the mound at home with an even more favorable price. Ohtani has a 2.19 ERA and .217 allowed batting average at home, and he's had success against the Mariners in his career as well. Ohtani ha allowed a combined 2 runs in his last 20 innings, and he's still playing for a case for the MVP, so there's motivation there. Either way, give me the Angels in this spot.
