MLB Odds: Angels vs. Mariners prediction, odds and pick

The Los Angeles Angels take on the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. The Angels are 30-35 and within reach of a playoff spot. Seattle is 28-36 and have a similar record. Both teams are in a divisional matchup.

Michael Lorenzen will start for the Angels. Lorenen has been surprisingly solid this season with a 3.45 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. The Mariners rank just outside the bottom ten teams in the league in most important offensive stats. Robbie Ray has a 4.52 ERA this year and has struggled against the Houston Astros and Baltimore Orioles.

The venue of the game should have an effect on Lorenzen's play. Lorenen has been terrible on the road, while Ray has a better ERA, WHIP and allowed batting average when he plays in front of his home fans. Seattle is a much better offensive team when they play in T-Mobile Park. The Angels are the same way, posting worse offensive stats when playing away from home.

Neither side of the spread looks good here. Both teams have been inefficient offensively. The under is a good bet.

The final prediction and pick is to under 7.5 (-106) for the final game between the Angels and the Mariners.
