Los Angeles Angels vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m backing the Mariners in this one. I get the case to be made for the Angels but the Mariners are rolling right now and are finding ways to get the job done in a lot of their recent outings and now get their ace on the bump in Bryan Woo and I just don’t see the Angels having enough in the tank to get the win here. Give me the Mariners in this one.
