Angels Offense Struggled

The Angels offense really struggled on Saturday failing to score any runs and that led to the defeat. The Angels had six hits but didn’t have anything cross home plate.

Mariners Need to Build on Saturday

The offense is ranked 29th in the league while the pitching is ranked 8th. They do have a negative run differential of -0.12 which is 12th in the league.

LA Angels vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

Castillo sits with an ERA of 3.28 and I trust him. In his last start against the Astros he was good giving up two runs in six innings and that is going to be the case again here. The Mariners are averaging 3.66 runs per game, but they are going to go over that number against Canning. Canning has had his issues, and that is going to be the difference here as the Mariners will get the job done. Back the Mariners on the run line.
