Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and prediction
The Seattle Mariners (29-30) and Los Angeles Angels (26-31) play the third contest of a four-game set at Angel Stadium of Anaheim Saturday with a 10:07 p.m. ET first pitch. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Mariners vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Yusei Kikuchi is the projected starting pitcher for the Mariners. He is 3-3 with a 3.88 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 8.8 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 over 62 2/3 IP through 10 starts.
Kikuchi is on quite the impressive run, posting six consecutive quality starts, including victories in each of his past two outings. Both of the wins since May 24 have been against American League West Division foes, too.
RHP Alex Cobb is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels. He is 3-2 with a 3.78 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 11.6 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 over 33 1/3 IP through 7 starts.
Cobb turned in a quality start and win last time out in Oakland last Saturday, twirling seven scoreless innings with 3 hits, 2 walks and 8 strikeouts. It was his first quality start since his initial outing of the season on April 3.

Money line (ML)
The MARINERS (+115) have split the first two games of this set, coming up short in Friday's game losing 3-2, after a 6-2 win in Thursday's series opener. Seattle is the play here because of Kikuchi, as he has been super consistent while limiting the damage for the better part of the past six weeks.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The MARINERS +1.5 (-175) is a lot more costly than playing them straight up, but if you're not feeling Seattle for the road win it's not a bad play. They lost Friday's game by one run, although their previous 12 losses since May 9 had been by two or more runs. I'd rather play Seattle straight up, but if you feel you need insurance, have at it.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 8 (-115) has cashed in four of the past five road games for the Mariners, and seven of the past nine overall. In addition, the Under is 5-2 in the past seven meetings between these teams, and 4-0 in the past four battles at the Big A.
