Game One: Anderson’s Reliability Sliding
Tyler Anderson’s overall numbers look exceptional, especially considering that the Angels have not been a contender for most of the season. With a .500 record and a 2.97 ERA, the easy assessment is the Angels’ run support for the Las Vegas native has been non-existent, but that hasn’t been the case with Los Angeles scoring 4.53 runs per game.
The problem for Anderson – when he’s been terrific, the Angels have scored a ton of runs (6.00 per game) and not so many (2.67) when the lefty needed his team to step up when he didn’t have his best stuff.
Anderson’s last start was against the Mariners before the MLB All-Star break, allowing four earned runs in six innings with six hits allowed including two homers in an Angels 6-5 win. Los Angeles is 10-9 when Anderson starts including eight wins in his last 12 outings.
Bryce Miller was sensational in his previous start before the break, shutting out the San Diego Padres for six innings, allowing five hits, no walks, and one strikeout in the Mariners’ 2-0 win. It marked the third straight game that Miller has held opponents to two earned runs or less.
In that time, the former Texas A&M Aggie has allowed four earned in 16.2 innings (2.16 ERA). A broad look at his recent form shows Miller with a 4.10 era, allowing 30 hits in 26.1 innings. Three of the last five starts for Miller and Anderson have cashed over tickets, adding to our recommendation of over in game one.
Game Two: Jose Soriano (LA) 5-7, 3.71 vs. Logan Gilbert (Sea) 6-5, 2.79
Jose Soriano was terrific in his last outing against the Seattle Mariners, allowing one earned run in six innings with five hits, four walks, and five strikeouts.
The start added to a decent run for the big righty with the Angels winning three of his last five starts. In his previous 29 innings, Soriano has allowed 11 earned runs (3.41), 25 hits, and nine walks to go with 18 strikeouts. Over the last two weeks, hitters are slugging .250 which is 101 points less than his season total of .351.
Logan Gilbert has put together a run of 11 quality starts in his last 12 appearances. Over those starts, the former Stetson star owns a 2.69 ERA but Seattle is just 6-6 in the outings because they’ve managed to score just 3.75 runs per game which is consistent with their season run production of 3.77 in back of Gilbert.
Three of his last four and 14 of his 20 starts have cashed under tickets in 2024. MLB MVP odds had the Angels Mike Trout as an early candidate to win the award but without the heart of their line-up, Los Angeles has found it difficult to score runs consistently, we recommend looking at the under in game two. We conclude our Angels vs Mariners best bets series preview with a look ahead to game three.
Game Three: Griffin Canning (LA) 3-10, 5.20 vs. Luis Castillo (Sea) 8-10, 3.55
We don’t know what the oddsmakers will make the game three number, but we’re leaning toward the Mariners to take game three. That doesn’t mean lay whatever the oddsmakers are asking to have Seattle on a ticket, but we’re going to jump on this game as soon as the number comes out late Tuesday to ensure we get the best of the number.
Over his last four starts, Griffin Canning has allowed 16 earned runs in 25 innings (5.76 era). With Canning owning a season-long 5.20 ERA, those recent form numbers don’t scream that the former UCLA pitcher deserves our money.
By comparison, Luis Castillo has allowed seven earned in his last 24.2 innings (2.55 ERA). This is an easy MLB predictions for us, especially if a series that the Mariners must win is on the line. That does it for our Angels vs Mariners best bets preview, all the best with your MLB wagers this week.
