Angels vs Mariners Prediction
The teams have traded victories in the past couple of years, each recording five in the previous ten H2H encounters, while this season, the Mariners lead 5-3. I am backing Seattle to win again, mainly because of Logan Gilbert, who is enjoying his best month of the season, allowing five runs in four starts, including back-to-back shutouts. Kyle Hendricks, on the other hand, surrendered ten runs in his previous three starts, and I think the Mariners will score 3+ in the opening few innings. Back the Mariners.
