MLB Betting Trends
Seattle
The Mariners have won nine of their last 11 Tuesday games and five of their last six division games. They also have won Leake’s last six road starts.
Los Angeles
The Angels have won nine of their last 13 home games. However, they are just 6-17 in their last 23 games following an off day.
Prediction:
On paper, these two teams are pretty similar in terms of run productions and runs allowed. However, the records are quite different. Los Angeles is 11 games behind the Mariners in the standings. Seattle finds ways to win while Los Angeles is finding ways to lose. The pitching matchup may favor the Angels tonight, but I don’t trust the Angels to put it all together to win this one. Seattle is having a great month by beating the teams they should beat.
The Pick: Seattle Mariners +150
