The Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels meet Sunday in MLB action at Angels Stadium. The Mariners need a win after losing four of their last five games. The Angels look for a win after winning eight of their last 12 games.
The Seattle Mariners have scored 13 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last seven games. The Mariners have won six of their last eight games when scoring four or more 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. Logan Gilbert gets the ball, and he is 0-2 with a 5.94 ERA and 16 strikeouts this season. This will be Gilbert’s first career game against the Angels.
The Los Angeles Angels have scored 17 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in four of their last eight games. The Angels have won seven straight games when scoring four or more runs. Jared Walsh leads the Angels with 59 hits and 39 RBI while David Fletcher and Shohei Ohtani have combined for 103 hits and 56 RBI. Jose Quintana gets the ball, and he is 0-3 with a 7.22 ERA and 50 strikeouts this season. Quintana is 2-1 with a 3.08 ERA and 51 strikeouts in his career against the Mariners.
The Mariners are 4-1 in their last 5 during game 4 of a series and 3-9 in their last 12 road games. The Angels are 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 4-0 in their last 4 Sunday games. The under is 7-2 in Mariners last 9 overall. The under is 7-1 in Angels last 8 overall. The Mariners are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
I’m not running to the window to back either of these starting pitchers. The over is probably worth a look. However, if forced to pick a side, I’d lean toward the Angels. The Los Angeles Angels offense has picked up lately and they’re starting to string wins together. The Angels offense should muscle through here.
