Eyeing a series win, the Seattle Mariners turn to Logan Gilbert on Sunday afternoon in a road matchup against the Los Angeles Angels.
The latest: Gilbert was dominant against the Angels in a pair of starts last season and will look to help the Mariners take three of four in L.A. On the other side, Taylor Ward has been swinging a hot bat since late June and should be a threat to make noise at the plate.
Check out my Mariners vs. Angels predictions in the form of a +330 same-game parlay.
Mariners vs. Angels predictions
Parlay: Gilbert over 6.5 Ks | Over 7.5 runs | Ward over 0.5 hits (+330)
Gilbert over 6.5 strikeouts (-167): Gilbert is having another superb season, fueled in large part by his elite strikeout stuff.
- 98th-percentile K rate (36.3%)
- 96th-percentile whiff rate (35.1%)
- 13.1 K/9
Gilbert has missed some time and is therefore not a qualified pitcher. Otherwise, his 13.1 K/9 would lead the majors.
In 13 starts this year, Gilbert has cashed this bet 10 times — including four of his past five.
Also, he went 2-0 vs. this prop against the Angels last season, totalling 17 Ks in those matchups. And L.A. continues to be an A+ matchup for pitchers, posting the second-highest strikeout rate in MLB this year (25.8%).
MLB SGP legs
Over 7.5 runs (-190): Though I expect Gilbert to carve up the Halos, he is susceptible to allowing some damage when he’s not working in Seattle’s pitcher-friendly park.
On the road this year, Gilbert has a 4.91 ERA and an .841 opponent OPS in five starts. All five of those games finished with at least 12 total runs.
Seattle has also put forth a surprisingly adept lineup this year, ranking fourth in wRC+ (112).
Overs are an MLB-best 57-43-5 (57.0%) in Mariners games, per Team Rankings.
I don’t expect a dominant outing from Angels starter Kyle Hendricks (5-7, 4.92 ERA). This over is 6-3 in his past nine starts, including a nine-run game when he faced the Mariners on June 6.
Ward over 0.5 hits (-150): This bet is hovering near straight wager territory for me — even with a lot of extra juice.
Yes, Gilbert is nasty. But Ward has seen him plenty of times, and the results are decent: 6-for-20 (.300), one HR, one double.
The power bat is still liable to rack up his share of strikeouts, but he’s been hitting for contact more than usual in recent weeks.
Over his past 25 games, Ward has a .309/.393/.577 slash line and has cashed this bet 20 times.
