PREVIEW
Seattle have now dropped 4 straight games so despite the better overall record are in the worse spot here, as they are skidding and also on the road. To top it off, their last loss was particularly hard to take, and I think they are in a letdown spot tonight.
The Mariners send out Aaron Harang, but his 1-4 mark and 7.30ERA only further strengthen my case against Seattle. Away from home, his ERA balloons further to 8.43! In his last meeting with the Angels, 4 weeks ago, he gave up 5 runs on 6 hits in just 3 innings. Also, he is pitching for the first time in 2 weeks due to back stiffness, and I think his game will be well off. Overall form against the Angels? 0-2 in 4 career starts with a 6.11ERA. Forget about it.
The Angels have right-handed Jerome Williams pitching for them. He is 2-1 with a 3.05ERA and has built momentum coming into this, with 2 great starts in as many games. He has a 3-1 record against the Mariners in 9 meetings, with a 3.27ERA that will be enough if he can stick to it.
BETTING VERDICT
Easy decision this. Take the Angels.

Los Angeles Angels 8-3 Seattle Mariners
