MLB Betting Trends
Los Angeles
The Angels are 3-12 in their last 15 road games and 1-6 in their last seven games following a loss.
Seattle
Seattle has won 21 of its last 27 at home and four straight division games. They are also 23-7 in their last 30 games following a win.
Prediction:
The Mariners are rolling and they have won nine of Leake’s last 10 starts. He has went at least 7 innings in his last two outings and at least six in eight straight starts. These two teams are trending in opposite directions and I like Seattle to keep up its strong run while the Angels continue to fall back.
The Pick: Seattle Mariners -110
