Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The ANGELS -1.5 (+155) are worth a roll of the dice. The Halos won 12-5 in Cobb's previous outing against the Mariners in Anaheim, and they have covered the run line in five of his past eight starts.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 8.5 (-105) is the play. The Over has cashed in each of Cobb's starts against the Mariners, and the Over is 5-1 in his previous six outings overall. The Over is 4-2 in Seattle's past six outings with Kikuchi on the bump, too.
