Why The Angels Could Cover The Spread
The Angels are undecided on a pitcher, but that does not totally matter. They have been one of the few teams to have Castillo's number this season. They have faced Castillo three times this season. Castillo pitched well the first time, but the Angels have gotten to him the past two. In his last two starts against the Angels, Castillo has thrown 12 innings, allowed 16 hits, allowed 12 runs (10 earned), and Los Angeles has hit five home runs off him. The Angels have gotten to Castillo, and that is exactly what they will have to do in this one. If they can continue getting to Castillo, the Angels will cover the spread.
Why The Mariners Could Cover The Spread
Castillo has been very good this season. He is coming off an excellent start against the Tampa Bay Rays, and he now owns a 3.08 ERA. To go along with that, he has a 1.04 WHIP, and 191 strikeouts in 175 1/3 innings pitched. One thing Castillo has done especially well this season is pitch at home. He has a 2.49 home ERA, a 10.9 K/9, his walks are down, and opponents hit .180 off him. The Angels struggle to hit, and Castillo is solid at home. If he can continue to pitch well at home, and take advantage of a struggling team, the Mariners will cover the spread.
Final Angels-Mariners Prediction & Pick
I know the Angels have been able to get to Castillo, but I do not think that will happen in this one. I will put my trust into Luis Castillo and bet on him to help the Mariners cover the spread. Seattle has won the last eight games Castillo has started, so I am betting on that streak to continue.
Final Angels-Mariners Prediction & Pick: Mariners -1.5 (-150), Over 7.5 (-105)
