The Angels, off a win, begin the 2nd half at home against the Mariners. Andrew Heaney (5-6, 5.38) is 1-2 in his last three starts, allowing 15 earned runs during that time. Mariners have had their way with Heaney in the past.

It is Chris Flexen on the mound tonight for Seattle. Mariners are 12-4 with him on the hill, and he is 2-0 with a minuscule 0.69 ERA in July. Flexen stymied the Angels in his last start allowing only 3 hits and 0 runs over 7 innings.

The Angels offense is much superior to Seattle’s but the Mariners’ ‘pen has shined of late, especially in late relief.

My wager

I am looking for Flexen to continue his winning ways, controlling the L.A.’s heavy hitters and beating the Angels in 2 straight starts. Take Seattle to WIN.
