The Angels and Mariners are set for an AL West showdown on Thursday night at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. It will be the fourth and final game of this series, with the Angels owning a 2-1 series lead to this point. However, with Bryan Woo on the mound, the Mariners seem to be in a strong position to even things up in the series finale. Woo has been dominant over the past month, as he owns a stellar 1.42 ERA through four starts and 25.1 innings of work in September. The Mariners are 4-0 in those games, and have won three by multiple runs. Woo has also been far better at home this season, as his ERA drops from 5.22 on the road to 2.36 from the comfort of T-Mobile Park. The Angels have been among the worst offenses in baseball, and Woo should be able to limit the damage.
Los Angeles will send Grayson Rodriguez to the mound. The Angels have lost 11 of his last 12 starts, with seven of those losses coming by multiple runs. He is sporting a less-than-ideal 5.73 ERA through four starts in September, and opponents own a strong .841 OPS against him on the season. The Angels are a measly 26-51 on the road this season, and they seem to have another uphill battle in front of them in this one. Back the Mariners on the run line.
Angels vs Mariners prediction: Seattle Mariners -1.5 (+110) available at time of publishing. Playable to +105.
