Why The Angels Will Cover The Spread/Win
Canning is not having the best season, but he has already faced the Mariners once. In that game, Canning was able to go 6.2 very strong innings. He allowed just four hits and one run in the game. Now, he suffered the loss, but his performance was more than good enough to win. If Canning can have another good performance, the Angels should be able to win.
The Mariners are a good team this year, but it is no thanks to their offense. Seattle is bottom of the MLB in batting average, and they do not hit for much power, either. This is a big reason why Canning was able to shut them down the last time he faced them. With the Mariners lack of offensive skill, Canning should be able to help the Angels win this game.
Why The Mariners Will Cover The Spread/Win
Seattle needs Castillo to have a good game here. Luckily, he is much better when pitching at home this season. He was also able to shut down the Angels on July 11th. In that game, Castillo threw six shutout innings and struck out five while earning the win. Pair that shutdown performance with his ability to pitch better at home, and Castillo should have another great start. As long as he does that, the Mariners will win this game.
Griffin Canning is having a rough season. He has an ERA over 5.00, and opponents average over 90mph exit velocity off him. Canning also struggles to strike batters out. Seattle should be able to make a lot of contact in this game. The Mariners have to take advantage of this. Seattle should be able to make solid contact and hit the ball with some power in this one. If they can do that, Seattle will win this game.
Final Angels-Mariners Prediction & Pick
The Angels, on paper, should be able to shut down the Mariners in this game. However, the Angels are just not a good team this year. Luis Castillo is very good at home, and I think that is going to continue in this game. I expect Castillo to lead the Mariners to a win in this game. More than that, I am going to take the Mariners to cover the spread, as well.
