Mariners vs Angels Prediction
We hit on the Angels yesterday, and I’m going back to the well. The Mariners don’t deserve to be big favorites against anybody, and they’ve looked like they’ve given up on the season in this series. There’s no edge on the mound in a game between Johnson and Anderson. We’re getting more than 1.5 times our money with the Angels. I don’t back this team often, but the Angels have to be the play here in a meaningless game.
