LA Angels vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m on the under here. I would lean towards the Angels if forced to pick a side but I think the under is stronger because I just don’t trust either team at the plate right now. Soriano’s pitched better on the road this season and the Angels’ bullpen has been decent, while the Mariners have a pitcher-friendly home field and Gilbert’s been solid at home. The Mariners also have a decent ‘pen as well. I think this could be another first to 3 wins kind of game. Give me the under.
