(MLB) Seattle vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -145.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -145.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: I think the home side will find a way to get the job done here. The Mariners go with Mike Leake in this one, while the Angels go with Garrett Richards.
The pitchers: Leake is so far 8-5 with a 4.11 ERA. Leake faced these very Angels on Wednesday and he'd allow four runs over four innings off nine hits. Leake has actually been better on the road than at home, but his K/9 of 5.64 leaves everything to be desired.
Richards is so far 5-4 with a 3.42 ERA. Richards most recently struck out eight over 5.1 innings while also allowing three runs off four hits and a walk throwing opposite Leake last week. Richards owns the highly respectable ERA and he also owns a career-high 10.5 K/9.
The pick: I believe Leake's inconsistencies continue to haunt him in this one, while there's no reason not to think that Richards won't be able to carry over his recent momentum. Especially at home. All things considered, a very fair price. Play on the Angels.
