Seattle Mariners vs LA Angels Prediction
Seattle has not hit the ball particularly well this season, but their pitching has been outstanding and they are leading the AL West. The Mariners are 20-11 at home so far this season, while the Angels are 14-16 on the road. LA has been ok with their scoring offense, but they have one of the worst pitching staffs in the league. The Angels will turn to Griffin Canning, who has pitched better recently, but has awful numbers on the season. The Mariners are going with Luis Castillo, who has been very consistent for Seattle in his last five starts. Seattle is playing the way better baseball right now and I flat out can’t trust the Angels pitching staff. My Seattle Mariners vs LA Angels prediction is for the Mariners to win by at least two runs.
