AMEDEUS' MLB AL WEST GAME OF THE YEAR!
(MLB) Seattle vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -124.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Loss
The Mariners are coming into this game playing very well recently as they have won their last 4 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 games. They are going up against an Angels team that has not been playing well recently as they have lost their last 5 straight games and have lost some ground in the division with this series. The Angels have already lost this series against the Mariners but they can still avoid getting swept here at home and they are going to be desperate to get a win in this game and stop the bleeding. They still have one of the better offenses in the league and they can lean on that here to win this game at home over the Mariners. Bryce Miller is starting for the Mariners here and he is 7-4 with a 4.35 ERA this season. He is just a rookie and has been pitching well for most of the season, but recently he has been unraveling as he has allowed at least 6 earned runs in each of his last 2 starts. He has already been struggling in his starts recently but now he will be facing one of the best offenses in the league and he is going to struggle to keep the Angels from scoring here, especially when they are trying to avoid the sweep. He has also been bad on the road this season as he has allowed at least 3 earned runs in each of his last 4 road starts, allowing at least 6 earned runs in 2 of his last 3 on the road. Chase Silseth is starting for the Angels here and he is 3-1 with a 3.99 ERA this season. He has not made many starts this season as he has mainly been pitching out of the bullpen but he has started in his last 2 appearances and pitched very well as he allowed just 1 earned run in each, pitching at least 5 innings in each as well. He also pitched on the road against the best offense in the league in his last start as he allowed just 1 earned run against the Braves and he is going to continue pitching well here at home against a much weaker Mariners offense. The Angels are going to bounce back at home and win this game.
