In their latest game, the Seattle Mariners saw their winning streak come to an end. In the matchup against the Los Angeles Angels, they will be determined to get back on the winning path.
The Mariners started their series against Houston strongly, winning three times, but lost the final game 4-0. Seattle managed just 4 hits, with two of them coming from Ty France. Bryan Woo (2-0; 1.66 ERA; 0.60 WHIP) will start on the mound. In the game against Washington, he pitched six innings and allowed three runs. With proper support from the offense, that game was won 9-5. The Mariners have won all four of his starts, conceding only one run in the first three over 15.2 IP.
The Halos rank 18th in the league in runs scored and only 28th in average ERA. José Soriano (2-5; 3.61 ERA; 1.18 WHIP) will be on the mound. The Angels have lost two of his last three starts, but he wasn't too bad before those games.
Bryan Woo appears stronger than his opponent and his team boasts a better bullpen. It's hard to predict the batting performance, but the superior team should win this one thanks to the mound advantage. The Mariners' win, although priced modestly at 1.62, has a high likelihood of coming through.
Even with the total match score set at 7.5 runs, I lean towards the teams not surpassing it. Bryan Woo has shown excellent pitch control this season, and Soriano has been fairly decent too. The visitors' batting isn't likely to shine, and the hosts rely more on their rotation.
