Mike Trout is starting to catch fire again.

The 4-time AL MVP hit two dingers last night in Seattle as the Halos took down the Mariners 4-1 behind another stellar start from last year's MVP Shohei Ohtani.

It's been up and down for the Angels since they ended their 14-game losing streak late last week, but look to climb closer to .500 tonight vs. the Mariners with one of their most consistent starters on the mound in Michael Lorenzen. Meanwhile, Seattle counters with last year's Cy Young winner Robbie Ray as he looks to turn his 2022 campaign around.

Here are the latest odds for tonight's matchup via WynnBET Sportsbook.

Angels vs. Mariners Pick and Prediction

If I were to ask you which team in the AL West has the best offense in the league, I'd assume your first instinct reaction would be the Houston Astros, right?

Nope, it's the Angels, and the Mariners aren't far behind. L.A. has scored 277 times this season, the most in the division, then it's the Texas Rangers (270), Astros (264), and then the Mariners with only 10 runs less than that at 254. Both these teams have scored a bunch, and they've also given up a ton of runs (270 for L.A, 271 for SEA).

Michael Lorenzen has had a nice season, but he's a heavy ground ball pitcher that doesn't punch many people out and walks his fair share per nine innings. Ray has the ability to be amongst the best pitchers int he league, but his strikeouts per nine are way down, his walks are back up, and he's allowing 1.62 HR/9 this year; already giving up 14 long balls before the official start of summer.

Despite both starting pitchers having some numbers and name value on Seattle's side, I think this total remains too low for lineups that both can mash in ideal hitting conditions.

LEAN: OVER 7.5 (-110)
