The Mariners Can Win If…
The Seattle Mariners recently faced the Milwaukee Brewers, ending with a 2-10 loss. Despite the score, Ben Williamson showed promise with a perfect 2 for 2 at the plate. Dominic Canzone and Jorge Polanco also contributed with extra-base hits, providing some spark to the lineup.
Seattle’s offense has been solid this season, with a team batting average of .248, ranking 10th in the league. They have shown power with 139 home runs, placing them 6th overall. Their on-base percentage of .322 is also impressive, ranking 6th, which helps them create scoring opportunities.
On the mound, Bryan Woo will start for the Mariners with a strong ERA of 2.91. His WHIP of 0.94 indicates he limits base runners effectively. The Mariners’ pitching staff has delivered 39 quality starts, ranking 9th, which can set the tone for a win against the Angels.
The Angels Can Win If…
The Los Angeles Angels are ready to bounce back after their recent 3-6 loss to the New York Mets. Despite the loss, Mike Trout showed his power with a home run. Chris Taylor and Taylor Ward also contributed with hits, showing the team’s potential at the plate.
The Angels have a strong chance to win with their impressive slugging percentage, ranked 7th in the league. They also rank 4th in home runs, which could be a game-changer. Their lineup features power hitters like Taylor Ward, who has 23 home runs this season.
José Soriano will be on the mound for the Angels, bringing a 3.83 ERA and 7-7 record. In his last start against the Phillies, he pitched 7 innings and allowed only 2 earned runs. With Soriano’s solid performance and the team’s power hitters, the Angels have a good shot at securing a win.
The Lean
The Mariners are favored with a moneyline of -131 against the Angels, who have a moneyline of +111. The Mariners have a stronger pitching staff with an ERA of 3.93 compared to the Angels’ 4.67. Given the Mariners’ pitching advantage and slightly better batting stats, the recommendation is to pick the Mariners to win straight up.
The total for the game is set at 8.5 runs. The Angels have given up more home runs and have a higher ERA, which could lead to more scoring. However, both teams have solid hitting ranks, suggesting a close game. The model projects a total score around 9 runs, so the recommendation is to take the over at 8.5 (-103).
Mariners Hope to Have Josh Naylor in Lineup Friday vs. Angels
Fresh off a 4-2 win in the series opener, the Seattle Mariners return to the field Friday night looking to keep the momentum alive — and potentially welcome a major offensive upgrade.
Just hours before Thursday’s game, Seattle bolstered its playoff push by acquiring slugger Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, hoping the 2024 All-Star can provide an immediate spark. Naylor hit .292 with 11 home runs and 59 RBIs in 93 games this season and is expected to be in uniform Friday.
“It’s a huge acquisition,” said Mariners manager Dan Wilson. “Josh had a huge series against us in Arizona. I think all of us are really excited to welcome him into the Mariner uniform.”
Seattle moved within five games of the Houston Astros in the AL West standings and leaped into the second AL wild-card spot with Thursday’s win.
The Mariners also got standout performances from Julio Rodriguez, who became the first player in MLB history to record 15 home runs and 20 stolen bases in each of his first four seasons, and Randy Arozarena, who hit his 11th homer since June 30.
Angels Aim to Snap Skid Behind Soriano
The Los Angeles Angels have now dropped four straight, including a narrow defeat in the opener that saw them load the bases in the ninth only to come up short.
Jose Soriano (7-7, 3.38 ERA) will try to stop the bleeding. He owns a career 2-0 record with a 2.70 ERA against Seattle and was solid against them in three starts last season.
Los Angeles remains 5.5 games out of the final AL Wild Card spot. But interim manager Ray Montgomery dismissed any notion that the postseason dream is slipping away.
“When you have 60 games left, I don’t think you’re running out of time,” Montgomery said. “I like the atmosphere and I like the way the guys responded.”
Mike Trout went 1-for-2 with a double and three walks Thursday, and Nolan Schanuel contributed two hits and an RBI before lining out with the bases loaded to end the game.
Woo Returns to the Mound for Mariners
Bryan Woo (8-5, 2.91 ERA) gets the ball for Seattle. The right-hander is coming off a loss to the New York Yankees in which he gave up four earned runs over six innings.
Woo has fared well against the Angels historically, boasting a 1-0 record with a 3.38 ERA in six career starts vs. Los Angeles.
