Seattle Mariners vs. Los Angeles Angels
Saturday, August 31, 2024 – 09:38 PM ET at Angel Stadium
The AI Model believes the Mariners and Angels will compete in a close game. It has the Mariners earning a 4.1-4.0 victory against the Angels on the road. However, with the Mariners a -165 favorite, it makes more sense to back the Angels at +1.5 at -120.
Can’t Count On Bryan Woo?
Bryan Woo has been excellent for the Los Angeles Angels over the last 30 days. However, he won’t rack up strikeouts and typically gives up hard contact to lefties at a high rate.
In addition, he’s earned just 10.1% of swinging strikes this season and will face an Angels lineup that typically strikes out a lot. If the Angels can put the ball in play more, they’ll give themselves a better chance of winning this game.
Seattle’s Offense Is No Better
While the Angels don’t have the most exciting offense, the Mariners don’t, either. Seattle’s offense has hit a .117 ISO and wOBA of .267 against lefties over the last month.
They’ll face Tyler Anderson, who has earned way more swinging strikes and has allowed just 20.7% of line drives over the last month. He has also limited walks to below 10%, which is really good for him.
The Pick
In a tight game between two solid pitchers and lackluster offenses, let’s take the Angels at +1.5 (-120).
