In this Seattle Mariners vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -150 road favorites. The Mariners have just two wins more than the Angels, who have been struggling at home, but have bounced back nicely in their recent games, with a 4-1 record in their last 5. The Mariners are looking terrible right now, and putting the struggling Kirby on the mound is not making things easier for them. Anderson might be struggling lately for the Angels, but has been solid to start the season, and even better at home.

The Mariners are weaker against lefties, while the Angels are better against righties, so I really like the Angels as a home dog in this spot. I will focus on the first 5 innings of this game to avoid the struggling Angels bullpen, so take the Los Angeles Angels at +0.5 runs in the first 5 innings of this game.
