"The Coach's" *10* MLB SURE SHOT
(MLB) LA Angels vs. Seattle,
Money Line: -129.00 Seattle (Home)
Result: Loss
The Seattle Mariners come into the 2015 season full of optimism, and they are already off and running after defeating the Angels by a score of 4-1 on Opening Day. These teams will meet at Safeco again tonight for Game 2 of this series, and I like the home team once again at a reasonable price.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - C.J. Wilson will be on the hill for the visitors, and he didn't have a great showing in 2014. He really struggled on the road, with a record of 4-8 and a 5.31 ERA. The Mariners will hand the ball to James Paxton, who was undefeated at Safeco last season. He only started five games in Seattle, but went 3-0 with a 2.12 ERA.

2, Seth Smith - He's one of a few players the Mariners brought in this off-season to bolster the offense, and he got off to a big start going 3-for-3 with a pair of RBIs on Opening Day.

3. X-Factor - That Angels have lost four straight in Seattle, and 13 of the last 16 when Wilson starts on the road.

Selection: This is a play on the Seattle Mariners (10*)
