Mariners vs. Angels Prediction and Odds for Tuesday, August 16 (Look to Under With Robbie Ray on Mound)

The Los Angeles Angles can't stay out of their own way.

The team got another strong start from Shoehi Ohtani; six innings, seven strikeouts, two earned runs, but let a tie game in the ninth inning slip away with a host of errors in the infield, allowing the Mariners to maintain their top spot in the AL Wild Card. Now, Seattle turns to its top-end starter, Robbie Ray, to make it two in a row from its AL West rival.

Ray will face a fellow lefty in Jose Suarez, who hasn't allowed a run in his last three starts, is this shaping up for a pitcher's duel? Let's dive into the odds from consensus sportsbooks:

Mariners vs. Angels Prediction and Pick

I do expect both pitcher's to show out on Tuesday. Suarez is in the best form of his season and will get a Mariners team that struggles against left handed pitching. The club is 22nd in batting average against southpaws and has only scored one run against him in two starts in 2022.

While Suarez may shove at home, the Angles offense will continue to be hopless at the dish against Ray, who has allowed three runs over his last 12-plus innings. The Halos rank 28th in the big leagues hitting lefties and have also struggled against Ray this year. The team has scored two runs in 14 combined innings against the 2021 AL Cy Young winner, striking out 20 times.

The Angels bullpen and terrible fielding gives me pause, the team's disastrous ninth inning cost the under last night, so instead I'll look to the fist five innings to ensure we see no funny business late in the game.

LEAN: F5 UNDER 4 (-120)
