The Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels meet Saturday in MLB action at Angels Stadium. The Mariners need a win after losing three of their last four games. The Angels look for a win after splitting their last eight games. 

The Seattle Mariners have scored eight runs in their last three games and three or less runs in four of their last eight games. The Mariners have lost eight of their last 10 games when scoring three or less runs. Mitch Haniger leads the Mariners with 58 hits and 37 RBI while JP Crawford and Kyle Seager have combined for 99 hits and 53 RBI. Yusei Kikuchi gets the ball, and he is 3-3 with a 3.88 ERA and 61 strikeouts this season. Kikuchi is 1-3 with a 11.32 ERA and 10 strikeouts in his career against the Angels.

The Los Angeles Angels have scored 13 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in five of their last eight games. The Angels have lost seven of their last eight games when scoring three or less runs. Jared Wlash leads the Angels with 58 hits and 39 RBI while David Fletcher and Shohei Ohtani have combined for 102 hits and 56 RBI. Alex Cobb gets the ball, and he is 3-2 with a 3.78 ERA and 43 strikeouts this season. Cobb is 3-4 with a 6.41 ERA and 36 strikeouts in his career against the Mariners.

The Mariners are 10-4 in their last 14 Saturday games and 3-8 in their last 11 road games. The Angels are 2-5 in their last 7 Saturday games and 3-8 in their last 11 games as a favorite. The under is 6-2 in Mariners last 8 overall. The under is 6-1 in Angels last 7 overall. The Mariners are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Los Angeles.

The Mariners have been struggling this week and the inconsistent offense is becoming an issue. The Angels have issues of their own, but they’ve shown signs of turning things around. Cobb has also been rather impressive at times this season. I’ll back the Angels and the cheap price.
