Mariners vs Angels Picks and Prediction – 9/1/2024

In an AL West showdown, the Seattle Mariners head to Angel Stadium to take on the Los Angeles Angels. Both teams are disappointed in how the season has played out, but this should still be a fun divisional clash. Get in on all the baseball action with our free MLB picks.

The Seattle Mariners (69-66) have been the most perplexing team in the MLB, as their pitching has been outstanding, but the Mariners have failed to find wins. Julio Rodríguez, their young star outfielder, is the biggest batting threat, leading the Mariners’ offense with his natural hitting ability. Rodríguez is hitting ,255 with 44 RBIs. On the mound, the Mariners will likely turn to Bryce Miller, who has been a consistent force in their rotation, tossing a 3.23 ERA.

On the other side, the Los Angeles Angels (55-80) are one of the bottom dwellers of the MLB. Since Mike Trout was knocked out with a season-ending injury, the Angels have been coasting to the finish line. Zach Neto has shown promise, hitting .252 with 20 home runs, but there is not a lot of offense on this team. Rookie Caden Dana will be making his debut on the mound, so there is no Major League data on him.

There will be several variables on this Angels vs. Mariners matchup, making the prediction a little more difficult. The most consistent thing is Seattle's pitching. Bryce Miller should have no problem knocking down this weak Angels offense, which will put Seattle in a great position to win. Prediction: Mariners win 2-1.
