The Mariners Can Win If…
The Seattle Mariners showed strong hitting in their recent game against the Los Angeles Angels, even though they lost 5-4. Julio Rodríguez and Ben Williamson both delivered with two hits each, contributing to the team’s total of eight hits. Despite the loss, the Mariners’ lineup displayed their ability to reach base and drive in runs.
The Mariners have powerful hitters, ranking 6th in the league with 81 home runs this season. Cal Raleigh leads the team with 24 home runs, and J.P. Crawford has a solid .283 batting average. Their ability to hit the long ball and get on base with a .318 on-base percentage makes them a threat in any game.
Seattle’s pitching staff has been reliable, ranking 14th with a 3.87 ERA. George Kirby will start, and while his numbers may seem high, his past performances show potential for improvement. With the Mariners’ strong hitting and potential for solid pitching, they have a good chance to win their next game.
The Angels Can Win If…
The Los Angeles Angels are coming off a close win against the Seattle Mariners, 5-4. Kyle Hendricks pitched six innings, allowing four runs. Travis d’Arnaud was key with a home run and two RBIs, while Chris Taylor contributed with two hits and a run.
The Angels’ power at the plate is a strength, ranking 3rd in home runs with 88 this season. Their slugging percentage is also impressive, ranking 9th in the league. Players like Logan O’Hoppe, who leads the team with 14 home runs, add to their offensive potential.
Tyler Anderson will start on the mound for the Angels, with a solid ERA of 3.86. The Angels have a good chance to capitalize on Seattle’s starter, George Kirby, who has an ERA of 8.56. With strong performances from key hitters and Anderson’s pitching, the Angels have a solid chance to win this game.
The Lean
The Mariners are favored with a moneyline of -148 against the Angels at +123. The Mariners have a stronger pitching staff with a 3.87 ERA compared to the Angels’ 4.88 ERA. With these stats, the recommendation is to pick the Mariners to win straight up. The projected score is Mariners 5, Angels 4.
The over/under line is set at 9.0 runs. The Mariners’ and Angels’ combined hitting and pitching stats suggest a game total around 9 runs. Given the Mariners’ solid pitching and the Angels’ lower on-base percentage, the recommendation is to take the under. The projected total is 9 runs.
Series Finale Looms with Rodriguez in Doubt
Seattle arrives in Anaheim on a season-long, five-game skid, but two-time All-Star Julio Rodriguez offered optimism after X-rays cleared an ankle contusion suffered Saturday. Manager Dan Wilson calls him “day-to-day,” and the club also escaped major damage when George Kirby absorbed a 102.7 mph comebacker without lasting harm. For real-time pricing on Seattle snapping its stretch, consult the MLB odds board.
George Kirby’s Resilience Tested
Kirby makes just his fourth start of the season after missing two months with shoulder inflammation. His 3.66 ERA in eight career outings versus the Angels underscores his bounce-back value, but he must silence Anaheim’s rallying lineup without compounding Seattle’s late-inning woes.
Angels’ Rallying Offense Enters Spotlight
Los Angeles counters with lefty Tyler Anderson, fresh off a game in which Jo Adell clubbed two homers and Chris Taylor finished with a homer, double and two RBIs during Saturday’s 8-6 win. Adell’s five homers in seven games power an attack that has captured ten of its last 13 matchups with Seattle. Full depth charts and lineup updates live on the MLB teams hub.
