MLB Betting Trends
Los Angeles
The Angels are just 4-12 in their last 16 road games and 1-10 in their last 11 road games against a left-handed starter.
Seattle
Seattle has won six of Gonzales’ last eight starts. They have also won nine of their last 12 home games against a team with a winning road record.
Prediction:
The Mariners lost last night but are still playing well right now. They also have a lefty on the mound, which is a big advantage against the Angels. Los Angeles hasn’t done well against the left-handed arms and Gonzales has been a pretty solid left-handed pitcher in the spectrum of the league. I think Seattle bounces back tonight.
The Pick: Seattle Mariners -125
