Los Angeles Angels Betting Outlook
The Angels are desperate to turn things around after a brutal sweep by the Mets that dented their playoff hopes. At 2-3 against Seattle this season and sitting in fourth place in the AL West, Los Angeles needs this 13-game homestand to salvage their wild-card chances. They trail Seattle and Boston by five games for the final playoff spot with the trade deadline looming.
Yusei Kikuchi (4-6, 3.13 ERA) takes the mound for the Angels, and his history against Seattle is outstanding. In four career starts against the Mariners, Kikuchi has posted a microscopic 0.39 ERA, including dominant outings that have kept Seattle’s bats silent. With his pinpoint control and ability to limit hard contact, Kikuchi gives the Angels a strong chance to set the tone in this four-game set.
The offense will look to Mike Trout to spark things. Trout hit a solo homer on Wednesday and sits at 999 career RBIs, with just four more home runs needed to hit the 400 milestone. The Angels are 33-7 when scoring five or more runs, and Trout heating up could make the difference.
Angels Player Prop Pick:
Mike Trout Over 1.5 Total Bases – Trout has been seeing the ball well, and with his milestone chase in full swing, he’s a prime candidate to produce extra-base hits.
Seattle Mariners Betting Outlook
Seattle enters this series with its own struggles, having dropped two of three to Milwaukee, capped by a 10-2 pounding in which the Brewers racked up 17 hits. The Mariners’ pitching and defense faltered, leaving manager Dan Wilson frustrated but focused on bouncing back. Second place in the AL West is slipping, as they now sit six games behind Houston.
Logan Evans (3-3, 3.81 ERA) will get the ball in his first career start against the Angels. The rookie has shown flashes of promise but will face a dangerous middle of the Angels’ order. With Evans still adjusting to big-league hitters, Seattle’s bullpen might be under pressure early if he can’t keep the ball in the park.
Seattle’s offense has been inconsistent, and they’ll need Cal Raleigh’s bat to stay hot. Raleigh, who’s been one of their few steady power threats, is capable of flipping momentum with a single swing, especially against a pitcher like Kikuchi, who has historically dominated the Mariners.
Mariners Player Prop Pick:
Cal Raleigh to Hit a Home Run – With Kikuchi’s history of challenging hitters in the zone, Raleigh’s power bat could be the Mariners’ best shot at damage.
Game Prediction & Betting Lean
The Angels have more to play for and a proven starter on the mound. Seattle’s road woes and recent pitching struggles tip the scale toward Los Angeles in the series opener.
