Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Mariners Rangers prediction and pick.</p><p>Marco Gonzales goes to the mound for the Mariners, while Dane Dunning takes the bump for the Rangers.</p><p>Marco Gonzales has a 3.98 ERA. He has not joined the parade for Seattle. In other words, he hasn’t been at the forefront of the improvements in the Mariners’ pitching which have propelled this team to the first position among American League wild card teams.</p><p>Gonzales won only one start during the Mariners’ 14-game winning streak in the first half of July. He has allowed five or more runs in three of his last five starts. Gonzales has veered from solid to mediocre but has not dominated any opposing lineup in recent weeks. The last time he gave up fewer than two earned runs in a start was on June 15. Gonzales hasn’t been bad in most of his starts. Six innings pitched and three runs allowed is a pitching line he has posted — or come very close to — in multiple starts over the past six weeks. Yet, his July ERA was 4.60. Other members of the Mariner staff are providing the high-end pitching which has catapulted this team to the next level. Seattle can really use a more efficient version of Gonzales, such as the one who contained the Rangers in a July 27 start. Gonzales went seven innings and allowed two runs. That’s the guy the Mariners need.</p><p>Dane Dunning has a 4.04 ERA. In his first two starts of the month of July, Dunning pitched 7 2/3 innings and allowed seven earned runs. You can do the quick math and put that ERA close to the nine-run mark. In his last three starts, however, Dunning has pitched 18 innings and allowed only four runs. You can do the quick math there and see that Dunning’s ERA in those three starts is an even two runs. Which version of Dunning will appear in this game? Keep in mind that Dunning went five innings and allowed two runs to the Mariners on July 26. These teams have seen each other a lot since the beginning of July, so Dunning and Gonzales are both very familiar with the batting orders they will face.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Mariners-Rangers</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Mariners-Rangers Odds</b></h2><p>Seattle Mariners: -1.5 (+164)</p><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (-200)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-106)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-114)</p><h2><b>Why The Mariners Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Mariners have won nine straight and 17 of 19 against the Rangers. They swept Texas just before the All-Star break in Arlington as part of their 14-game winning streak. They swept Texas shortly after the All-Star break in Seattle to bounce back after they got swept by the Houston Astros. The Mariners simply own Texas. Beyond that, the Rangers simply haven’t played well this year. They acquired both Marcus Semien and Corey Seager. Semien had an atrocious first three months to the season. He has been moderately better in recent months, but the Rangers still have a lot of holes in the lower half of their batting order, and their pitching is not strong enough to compensate for that deficiency. The Mariners, on the other hand, are getting elite pitching, especially from their bullpen, which struggled in the first two months of the season but has come alive in the summer months. Julio Rodriguez and Mitch Haniger are back. Eugenio Suarez has noticeably improved over the past month. The pieces of the puzzle are fitting together for a team which looks primed to end its 21-year playoff drought.</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>After losing nine straight to the Mariners, the Rangers are due to play a good game against Seattle. Moreover, Marco Gonzales has not been an especially strong member of the Seattle rotation. Dane Dunning pitched really well in his most recent start. If he carries that level of form into this game, the Rangers are likely to win.</p><h2><b>Final Mariners-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Rangers are going to win a game against the Mariners at some point. However, Seattle is undeniably the better team and is riding the wave right now. This is a good stay-away game, but if you absolutely insist on a pick, lean to the Mariners until Texas proves it can beat them.</p><p><b>Final Mariners-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick: Mariners -1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With that said, it’s a good time to check out our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">series</a>, which includes our Mariners-Rangers prediction and pick we have laid out below.</p><p>Seattle is currently in line to make the playoffs as a wild card team, sitting in second in the AL West at 61-52 with wins in six of its last 10 games. The Rangers are a different story, having won only three of their last 10 contests. They’re third place in the division at 49-62, and trailing the Tampa Bay Rays by 9 1/2 games for the final American League wild-card spot, they’ll need nothing short of a miracle to become a factor in the playoff hunt.</p><p>The Mariners have dominated the season series, winning 11 of the 13 matchups between the teams this year.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Mariners-Rangers MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Mariners-Rangers Odds</b></h2><p>Seattle Mariners: -1.5 (+112)</p><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (-134)</p><p>Over: 8 (-115)</p><p>Under: 8 (-105)</p><h2><b>Why The Mariners Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Amid a disappointing season for the Rangers, their struggles have been further amplified when going up against Seattle. The Mariners have won the last eight meetings between the teams, and have been fairly impressive against the other teams within their division. Taking away their games against the Houston Astros, who boast the best record in the American League, Seattle is 23-12 against AL West opponents this year.</p><p>The Mariners also appear to have a substantial advantage in the starting pitching department, with rookie standout George Kirby set to take the mound. Kirby has a 3.40 ERA, the third-lowest among rookie pitchers with at least 10 starts and by far the lowest of first-year players who have started 15 or more games. He’s gotten better with experience at the big league level, too, with his last loss coming on June 27. He posted a 2.21 ERA with a .231 opponent’s batting average in July and allowed just one run while striking out eight batters in six innings during a win over the Los Angeles Angels last week.</p><p>Meanwhile, Josh Sborz’s performance so far in 2022 does little to inspire optimism for Texas backers. Sborz has a 5.87 ERA with opponents batting .271 against him this season. Albeit, the sample size is pretty small at just 15 1/3 innings — all of which have come in relief. The Rangers do rank 11th in the MLB with a 3.73 bullpen ERA, but with this being Sborz’s first career start at the MLB level, a worn-out relief staff that has pitched 17 1/3 innings over their last four games will be called upon to play a significant role.</p><p>Seattle has had some issues at the plate since the All-Star break, but first baseman Ty France has been a bright spot. His .824 OPS over the last month ranks 19th in the American League. Centerfielder Julio Rodriguez’s 13 RBI in this stretch are tied for the 18th-most in the league, while second baseman Adam Frazier is tied for 22nd with 12 runs scored.</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Even with Texas losing its last eight games against Seattle, it’s worth noting that the run differential has only been 14, while five of these contests were decided by only one run. This seems to indicate that, despite all of the Rangers’ problems, taking them on a +1.5 run line isn’t a terrible play. Their minus-three run differential for the season is the best of any team with a losing record by 17 runs and makes the fact that they’re 13 games below .500 even more confounding.</p><p>With the Rangers facing an uphill battle when it comes to pitching, there is some optimism to be gleaned from the Mariners’ recent struggles at the plate. Since the All-Star break, Seattle ranks 25th or worst in the MLB in runs scored, OPS, slugging percentage, and on-base percentage, with its .206 batting average ranking dead last in all of baseball. By comparison, Texas ranks in the top 20 in each of these categories during this stretch.</p><h2><b>Final Mariners-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Even with the Rangers holding what could be viewed as a slight advantage on offense, at least over the past month, it’s difficult to feel comfortable about them being competitive in this matchup — especially considering their abysmal 24-42 record against teams above .500, which is the third-worst in the American League. The Mariners’ overall issues on offense are concerning when taking them to cover 1 1/2 runs, but they still have productive weapons that can change the game at the plate. This, combined with the Rangers’ recent heavy use of their bullpen, makes Seattle on the run line the play here.</p><p><b>Final Mariners-Rangers Prediction &amp; Pick: Mariners -1.5 (+112)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, Castillo, the top starter available, had many suitors. One such team, the New York Yankees, were very much in on the All-Star hurler.</p><p>Shortly after the deal to the Mariners, it was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-the-reason-why-new-york-reds-failed-to-agree-on-luis-castillo-trade/">reported</a> that the Yankees’ talks with the Reds fell through because Cincinnati was asking for New York’s no. 1 prospect, Anthony Volpe.</p><p>The Yankees balked- and Castillo landed in Seattle. But the report got people thinking. If New York wasn’t willing to part with Volpe, <i>who did they offer</i> to the Reds for the ace starter? <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/11/who-yankees-did-and-did-not-offer-to-get-luis-castillo/">Jon Heyman</a> of the New York Post revealed that the Yankees offered this star prospect in Luis Castillo trade talks.</p><p>“The Yankees tried hard for Luis Castillo, offering top prospect Jasson Dominguez in packages, according to sources.”</p><p>Per Heyman, the Yankees offered Jasson Dominguez to the Reds for Luis Castillo. The club “tried hard” for the Mariners ace. Dominguez, the club’s no. 3 prospect, has drawn comparisons to the likes of Mike Trout and Mickey Mantle.</p><p>Clearly, the Reds weren’t enticed by the trade package headlined by Dominguez. Cincinnati reeled in three of the Mariners’ top-five prospects instead. Based on that haul, it’s likely that New York would have had to cough up Volpe, Dominguez and possibly another top-five minor leaguer.</p><p>It’s a price that Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was not willing to pay. New York, losers of eight of their last 10 games, better hope he made the right choice.</p><p>Castillo’s first two starts as a Mariner came against New York.

The Mariners rookie issued this bold warning to the Yankees star, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Julio Rodríguez exchanges an autographed jersey for a signed bat from Aaron Judge ahead of today’s matinee from T-Mobile Park, then they share an extended conversation behind home plate.</p><p>“We’re gonna come back and play you guys in the postseason,” Rodríguez said. <a href="https://t.co/Pwo4obVRvo">pic.twitter.com/Pwo4obVRvo</a></p><p>— Daniel Kramer (@DKramer_) <a href="https://twitter.com/DKramer_/status/1557435160068382722?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 10, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“We’re gonna come back and play you guys in the postseason.” Julio Rodriguez didn’t hold back, letting Aaron Judge know exactly how good he feels about his club.</p><p>The confidence that the Mariners <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mariners-news-julio-rodriguez-must-clear-this-1-hurdle-before-he-can-return-from-injury/">rookie</a> has to say that to the established Yankees star, though.

With that said, it’s a good time to check out our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">series</a>, which includes our Yankees-Mariners prediction and pick we have laid out below.</p><p>The New York Yankees are tied with Houston for the best record in the American League at 71-40. Although it is only August, the AL East is all but finished for New York, with a 10.5-game lead over Toronto. Still, there are kinks to work out, and the last two weeks have highlighted those.</p><p>The Seattle Mariners are one of the surprise teams this season, with a 60-52 record. Seattle is in second in the AL West, but holds the second spot in the AL Wild Card race. A young pitching staff and an exciting young lineup make this team an almost must-watch.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Yankees-Mariners MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Yankees-Mariners Odds</b></h2><p>New York Yankees: -1.5 (+140)</p><p>Seattle Mariners: +1.5 (-170)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (+100)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-122)</p><h2><b>Why The Yankees Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>New York has struggled with inconsistency the last two weeks and has split the series with Seattle so far. Nestor Cortes, breakout All-Star, will take the mound in this one. Cortes is 9-3 with a 2.57 ERA, striking out 115 in 112 innings. In his last 16.1 innings, Cortes has allowed just four earned runs. Batters have hit just .198 combined against his fastball and cutter. Using multiple arm angles and a five-pitch mix, Cortes has confused batters all season. The Yankees’ bullpen is second in ERA with a sparkling 2.97 ERA and 391 strikeouts in 387.1 innings. Clay Holmes, despite his month-long struggles, still owns a 2.22 ERA and one of the <a href="https://twitter.com/PitchingNinja/status/1539803048805031936?s=20&amp;t=V4HEynVHWJ0wYB_AF4hMfw">nastiest pitches</a> in the league. Aroldis Chapman has overcome his mid-season struggles and has not allowed a run in seven innings since July 22.</p><p>Any mention of the Yankees’ offense needs to include Aaron Judge immediately. Continuing his torrid pace, Judge has launched 44 home runs and 99 RBI while adding a .303 batting average. In his last 15 games, Judge has belted eight home runs with an insane .414 batting average. Anthony Rizzo has struggled with back issues the last few days but still has enjoyed an incredible season, with 27 home runs and a .347 on-base percentage. Matt Carpenter’s injury is a huge blow to both the lineup and the fan base, but Miguel Andujar is a worthy replacement. Andujar was second in AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2018, the last time he received regular playing time. The Yankees’ offense is arguably the best in baseball, leading the league with 188 home runs, 440 walks, and 588 runs scored.</p><h2><b>Why The Mariners Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Seattle took a good team and made it into a very good team after the trade deadline. Luis Castillo, the prized acquisition, has been unreal in his two starts with the team. Robbie Ray will take the ball in this one, with a 3.96 ERA in his 22 starts. Ray has struck out 149 batters in 129.2 innings. Ray has lethal stuff, ranking in the 82nd percentile in strikeout rate and in the 89th percentile in whiff rate. Seattle’s bullpen is very strong, ranking eighth in the league with a 3.42 ERA, striking out 402 batters in 378.2 innings. Closer Paul Sewald has a 2.36 ERA and 14 saves in 45.2 innings.</p><p>While the offense awaits the return of Julio Rodriguez, plenty has picked up the slack in his absence. Eugenio Suarez has launched 18 home runs, and Cal Raleigh has hit 16, not including a couple that was just foul in this series. Ty France leads the team with a .298 batting average, adding 14 home runs and 19 doubles.</p><h2><b>Final Yankees-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This should be a pretty good matchup, continuing a good series.</p><p><b>Final Yankees-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick: New York -1.5 (+140), over 7.5 (+100)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Yankees Mariners prediction and pick.</p><p>Gerrit Cole takes the bump for the Yankees, while Luis Castillo goes to the mound for the Mariners.</p><p>Gerrit Cole gave up more runs in the first inning of last week’s start against the Mariners than in any other inning of his MLB career. Cole allowed six runs, the product of three different home runs. Eugenio Suarez, Carlos Santana, and Jerred Kelenic all hit no-doubters against him in Yankee Stadium. The Yankees were down six runs before anyone’s seat was warm. This is obviously a moment for Cole to bounce back, regroup, and show that he is still an ace-level pitcher. He has had some rocky starts this season other than the one against the Mariners. He was similarly rocked for multiple home runs by the Twins several weeks ago. Cole started slowly out of the blocks in April. He needs to show that he can be the dominant stopper the Yankees will need in October. This game is an important measuring stick for him, given what happened last week in New York.</p><p>Luis Castillo opposed Cole last Wednesday in Yankee Stadium. Getting six runs in the first inning is something he can’t get used to. He knows each pitch in this game is likely to carry a lot more pressure. Castillo wasn’t spectacular in his Mariner debut last week. He gave up a few runs and didn’t have supreme command, but with a six-run lead, Castillo did not need to be perfect. He did a very good job of protecting that fat lead. Assuming Cole pitches well in this game, Castillo will have to make a lot of important pitches in which the Yankees will try to take the lead or tie. Castillo, not just Cole, has a lot to prove in this game.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Yankees-Mariners</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Yankees-Mariners Odds</b></h2><p>New York Yankees: -1.5 (+126)</p><p>Seattle Mariners: +1.5 (-152)</p><p>Over: 7 (-108)</p><p>Under: 7 (-112)</p><h2><b>Why The Yankees Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Yankees’ bats woke up on Sunday in St. Louis. They remained thunderous on Monday in Seattle, and this time, they got solid pitching to go along with it. Now that the Yankees have finally snapped their annoyingly long losing streak (at five games), maybe everyone will relax and get back to playing quality baseball, which is what we saw with this team in the first three months of the season. The Yankees punched the Mariners in the mouth, and now Gerrit Cole will try to avenge last week’s disaster. He should be up to the task.</p><h2><b>Why The Mariners Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>After last week’s horrible outing by Gerrit Cole against the Mariners, many people are going to think that Cole will be a lot better this time versus Seattle. Those folks are going to be right … but if Cole is a lot better than last week, that could still mean he will give up two or three runs in this game. If that happens, Luis Castillo could shut out the Yankees and bring home a 2-0 or 3-0 win. The Mariners won a series last week against the Yankees. More specifically, they lost Game 1 on a Monday and then won on Tuesday and Wednesday. That could happen this week as well. Also: Matt Carpenter fractured his foot and will be out for this game.</p><h2><b>Final Yankees-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>One should expect Cole and Castillo to both pitch better than they did last week. Cole, though, has more to prove and will probably be a little sharper.

Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Yankees Mariners prediction and pick.</p><p>Jameson Taillon goes to the bump for the Yankees, while Logan Gilbert starts for the Mariners.</p><p>Jameson Taillon has a 3.96 ERA. That ERA was 2.30 on June 2. It has steadily risen since then. The main reason: Taillon is getting crushed by the home run. Taillon was keeping the ball in the park in the first two and a half months of the season. He allowed six home runs in his first 13 starts of the season. He gave up just one home run in the month of May, and in a seven-start sequence which stretched from late April through early June.</p><p>Last week, the Mariners roughed up Taillon for six runs in 4 2/3 innings. They hit two home runs against Taillon, who also allowed four walks. The Yankees walked eight St. Louis Cardinal hitters in a 12-9 Sunday loss. Yankee pitching has fallen off the pace, a key reason New York has dropped five games in a row. Taillon has a lot of work to do to repair what has become broken.</p><p>Logan Gilbert has a 3.09 ERA. For three straight months, his ERA was roughly 3.35. He posted a 3.44 ERA in May, 3.28 in June, 3.18 in July. His level of performance over the course of whole months — clusters of five or six starts — remained notably stable and steady. Gilbert wasn’t spectacular, but he was good. Three months with that level of pitching is something every MLB team will take from a pitcher who is not the ace of the staff.</p><p>Last week, though, Gilbert gave up three homers against the Yankees, allowing six runs in 5 1/3 innings. Does that performance mean that Gilbert is about to regress and lose the stability he displayed over the previous three months, or should it be viewed as an aberration? That’s the question you need to answer if you insist on making a pick in this game.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Yankees-Mariners</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Yankees-Mariners Odds</b></h2><p>New York Yankees: -1.5 (+142)</p><p>Seattle Mariners: +1.5 (-176)</p><p>Over: 8 (-102)</p><p>Under: 8 (-120)</p><h2><b>Why The Yankees Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Yankees have lost five games in a row. They’re not going to lose six in a row. This team looks bored, and its pitching staff has also gone through its worst patch of the 2022 season. One would be inclined to think that the Yankees are going to reverse course at some point. They hammered Logan Gilbert last week. If they come to the ballpark motivated and hungry, they’re probably going to pound the Mariners, who beat them twice last week in Yankee Stadium.</p><h2><b>Why The Mariners Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Yankees look horrible. They’re playing their worst baseball of the season. Logan Gilbert is a good pitcher who had a bad day at the office last week against the Yankees. He is likely to be better in this game. Can one say the same for Jameson Taillon? He has been below average over the past month, and teams including the Mariners have tagged him for home runs. The Mariners looked a little flat over the weekend against the Angels. They’re not going to be mentally flat against the Yankees. They’ll rough up Taillon and will get a solid game from Gilbert.</p><h2><b>Final Yankees-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Yankees are playing poorly but are going to play better baseball at some point, but Taillon is having a tough time and Gilbert is pitching better than he is. What does that all mean? Stay away from this game. If you insist on a pick, the Mariners probably look like the better choice.</p><p><b>Final Yankees-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick: Mariners +1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With that said, it’s a good time to check out our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">series</a>, which includes our Angels-Mariners prediction and pick we have laid out below.</p><p>The LA Angels, despite having two of the best players in the world, are 46-62. Once again, a year of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani is not good enough for a playoff spot. Instead, the Angels seem to be in limbo, sea-sawing between rebuilding and just outside contention.</p><p>Seattle, owners of baseball’s longest playoff drought, may just put an end to that streak this season. With a 58-51 record, Seattle is in second in the AL West and own the final AL Wild Card spot. This is an exciting, young team, and 2022 may only be a glimpse of what is to come.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Angels-Mariners MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Angels-Mariners Odds</b></h2><p>Los Angeles Angels: +1.5 (-162)</p><p>Seattle Mariners: -1.5 (+134)</p><p>Over: 8 (-115)</p><p>Under: 8 (-105)</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Los Angeles, despite having the best two-way player since Babe Ruth, cannot seem to overcome the hump and make a playoff run. Shohei Ohtani is enjoying one of the best seasons in baseball history, with 24 home runs and a 2.83 ERA as a pitcher. Ohtani has also added 11 stolen bases. With Mike Trout missing significant time, the offensive burden has fallen on Ohtani, a task to which he has stepped up to this season. Jared Walsh and Taylor Ward have added significant contributions, each belting 14 home runs. Los Angeles ranks 11th in MLB with 122 home runs, albeit with a measly .229 batting average, the fourth-lowest total in baseball.</p><p>The pitching staff has been largely average, ranking 16th in the league with a 3.92 ERA. Sunday afternoon, Tucker Davidson will make his Los Angeles debut. Davidson, who was acquired for Raisel Iglesias, will be making his ninth career start. Davidson’s control has escaped him this season, with a 17.3% walk rate. Still, there are signs of a good pitcher in Davidson, as batters have hit under .200 against both his slider and curveball. After losing Iglesias, Los Angeles’ bullpen struggles are magnified. Ryan Tepera, the likely heir apparent for the closer’s job, has a 4.05 ERA, but a 3.77 ERA in his last 15 appearances.</p><h2><b>Why The Mariners Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Seattle has one of baseball’s most exciting young stars in Julio Rodriguez. Unfortunately, Rodriguez is still on the Injured List with a wrist injury. In his place, fan-favorite Mitch Haniger has returned from an ankle sprain, going 1-3 in his first game in over three months. Haniger launched 39 home runs in 2021, so his bat is a welcome addition. Five Mariners have hit double-digit home runs, highlighted by Eugenio Suarez’s two dingers against the Yankees this week. Suarez and Rodriguez both pace the team with 18 home runs. As a team, Seattle has 121 home runs, tied for 12th in the league.</p><p>Marco Gonzales will take a 3.95 ERA with him to the mound in this one. The soft-tossing lefty mystifies opposing hitters with a four-pitch mix, registering an ERA below 4.00 in his last four seasons, including 2022. Gonzales does not strike out a ton of batters, instead relying on weak contact, ranking in the 64th percentile of average exit velocity. Seattle’s bullpen is a strong point, ranking ninth in the league with a 3.49 ERA. Closer Paul Sewald has reinvented himself in Seattle, with a 2.47 ERA and 13 saves in 2022. Flamethrowing righty Andres Munoz is a lethal setup man, with a 2.93 ERA and 65 strikeouts in his 43 innings.</p><h2><b>Final Angels-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Despite winning two of three thus far in the series, Los Angeles cannot rely on a rookie to solidify a series victory.</p><p><b>Final Angels-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick: Seattle -1.5 (+134), over 8 (-115)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Angels Mariners prediction and pick.</p><p>Reid Detmers goes to the bump for the Angels, while Chris Flexen will start for the Mariners.</p><p>Reid Detmers has a 3.62 ERA, but that number doesn’t mean a lot right now. What means a lot more is that Detmers — whose season ERA was 4.66 on June 21 and then missed the next two and a half weeks — has been a completely different pitcher since returning to the Angels’ rotation on July 8. He posted a 1.13 ERA in July — 24 innings pitched, three earned runs allowed, no home runs allowed — and has pitched like the man who no-hit the Tampa Bay Rays on May 10. It has been great to see a man do something special, get roughed up, and then bounce back, thereby legitimizing his no-hitter in a very real sense and showing he has the stuff of a high-level pitcher.</p><p>George Kirby was originally listed as the starter for this game as of Friday night, but on Saturday morning, he got moved to Game 1 of this doubleheader. Chris Flexen will start Game 2 instead.</p><p>Flexen has a 3.73 ERA for the year, but he is steadily improving. He registered a 5.47 ERA in the month of May. He slightly improved in June, notching a 4.09 ERA. In July, he soared. His ERA checked in at 1.95. Flexen pitched 27 2/3 innings in July, giving up just six earned runs. He has been a big part of the Mariners’ summer surge into playoff contention. The one thing he still needs to improve on: walks. Flexen walked 12 hitters in his 27 2/3 July innings. He has to establish a much lower walks-per-nine-innings rate if he is to maintain the standard of performance which will give the Mariners their first playoff berth since the 2001 season.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Angels-Mariners</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Angels-Mariners Odds</b></h2><p>Los Angeles Angels: +1.5 (-176)</p><p>Seattle Mariners: -1.5 (+146)</p><p>Over: 7 (-122)</p><p>Under: 7 (+100)</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Angels play well in Seattle. They won four of five games from the Mariners in a June trip to the Pacific Northwest, and they won the opener of this weekend series on Friday night. Moreover, an Angel team which has been aimless and wayward for much of the past month has some bad blood with the Mariners, flowing from a brawl between the two teams from June. If there is one team the Angels might get up for — and raise their game against — over the two remaining months of the season, the Mariners are that team. The Angels are almost certain to lose a majority of their remaining games, but they might play a mean and wicked spoiler against the M’s in Seattle.</p><p>Also worth noting: Reid Detmers is pitching brilliantly right now. That certainly matters.</p><h2><b>Why The Mariners Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>After losing Friday night to the Angels, you know the Mariners are going to be a little ticked off on Saturday in this doubleheader. It’s true that you won’t know the outcome of Game 1 until roughly 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific (give or take half an hour), but even if the Mariners win Game 1, they shouldn’t be complacent when they play the nightcap of this day-night double-dip. Flexen is pitching really well, enough to offset how well Detmers is dealing for the Angels.</p><p>Also — and this is a big one — Seattle power hitter Mitch Haniger is expected to be available for this game, per Seattle Times Mariner reporter Ryan Divish.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Mitch Haniger said he’s going to be activated from the IL to play in tonight’s game.</p><p>— Ryan Divish (@RyanDivish) <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanDivish/status/1555977715580166144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 6, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Haniger gives the M’s a big bat they desperately need.</p><h2><b>Final Angels-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Mariners are a much better team. They get Mitch Haniger back. Chris Flexen is pitching well. This looks like a pretty clear-cut play to make.</p><p><b>Final Angels-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick: Mariners -1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/betting/" rel="noopener">series</a> with an Angels-Mariners prediction and pick.</p><p>The Angels defeated the Mariners 4-3 on Friday. They led 1-0 entering the ninth when Max Stassi came to the plate. Then, Stassi clobbered an absolute shot to left field. The two-run bomb was his seventh in 2022, giving the Angels a 3-0 lead. Next, the Halos brought Jesse Chavez in to close the game. Chavez struck out the first hitter and then walked Jesse Winker. Then, Jake Lamb singled to center. Chavez got the next hitter out. Ultimately, Adam Frazier delivered an RBI double to right, and Ty France followed with an RBI single to tie the game. The game went into extras, and the Angels won it with a Taylor Ward sacrifice fly.</p><p>The Angels will start Jaime Barria on the hill today. Barria is 1-1 with a 2.55 ERA in 20 games. Though he has started in the past, this will be the first start for him in 2022. Barria is 2-4 with a 5.23 ERA in seven starts and nine appearances against the Mariners throughout his career. </p><p>George Kirby will take the mound for the Mariners. Kirby is 2-3 with a 3.56 ERA. Recently, he tossed four innings while allowing two earned runs on three hits. Kirby went 0-0 with a 2.21 ERA in July. Significantly, he faced the Angels one time on June 16, going six innings while allowing two earned runs on six hits with one home run in a loss. </p><p><b><i>Here are the Angels-Mariners MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Angels-Mariners Odds</b></h2><p>Los Angeles Angels: +1.5 (-132)</p><p>Seattle Mariners: -1.5 (+110)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-106)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-114)</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Angels still have Shohei Ohtani but he could rest for one of the games. Ultimately, it will be up to the rest of their offense to do anything. Ward did his part yesterday, and Ohtani contributed. Luis Rengifo had a 2 for 4 night and Jo Adell went 1 for 2. Unfortunately, Jared Walsh continues to struggle, going 0 for 4. He is batting .210 with four home runs, 13 RBIs, and 15 runs since June 1. Walsh had 10 home runs going into that game and looked to be on pace for 30. Ultimately, it has not worked out that way. Walsh hit .277 with 29 home runs, 98 RBIs, and 70 runs last season, displaying his massive potential. Now, he must finish the season strong and prove to the Angels that he has some value. </p><p>Rengifo has done well against the Mariners in 2022, batting .344 (11 for 32) with one home run, one RBI, and three runs over nine games. Thus, he must continue the trend to help the Angels win. </p><p>The Angels will cover the spread if Barria can pitch a decent game and the bullpen can hold their end. Mostly, the halos need their offense to work. Walsh and Rengifo must contribute and help Ohtani. It is the only way the Angels will mount anything. </p><h2><b>Why The Mariners Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Mariners are right in the thick of the playoff picture and have accomplished this with solid pitching and hitting. Julio Rodriguez could be in the ‘rookie of the year’ running, batting .271 with 18 home runs, 57 RBIs, and 55 runs. Additionally, France continues to produce, batting .307 with 13 home runs, 54 RBIs, and 39 runs. But the Mariners still have work to do. </p><p>Seattle ranks 25th in batting average, 12th in on-base percentage, 21st in runs, 14th in on-base percentage, and 20th in slugging percentage. Those are signs of a team that is patient and can hit the long ball. Conversely, it is also signs of a team that cannot hit the ball in any other situation. The Mariners will either hit home runs or strike out. </p><p>Luckily, their pitching has helped ease the blow. Seattle is collectively seventh in the majors in team ERA and 12th in batting average against. The Mariners will have one of their better young starters on the mound today, and he must deliver. </p><p>The Mariners will cover the spread if they can get to Barria early. Likewise, they must find multiple ways to score and bring runners home. It will not be easy, but the Mariners can get it done offensively. Kirby must connect on his pitches. </p><h2><b>Final Angels-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Angels are somehow 6-3 against the Mariners. Despite being a bad team, they have dominated this series. However, the Mariners have the better starter in Game 1. It will motivate them to take the first game, especially after losing last night. Expect Kirby to shut down the pathetic Angels offense and lead the Mariners to cover this spread. </p><p><b>Final Angels-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick: Seattle Mariners: -1.5 (+110)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
