Prediction and Conclusion
The Seattle Mariners have a much better season than their division rival, but the Angels are the ones who have won 7 of their last 8 head-to-head games, including a 5-4 win last night. However, it is too late for the Angels to save the season, so they will go with a 20-year-old pitcher who will make his pro debut today. Caden Dana has emerged as the team’s top pitching prospect and has been impressive this season, posting a 2.52 ERA over 23 starts in Double-A. The Mariners will have Bryce Miller on the mound, who is 10-7 for the season with a 3.23 ERA, 143 K, 150.2 IP, and 0.98 WHIP. Everything goes in the favor of the Mariners tonight, so we go with them to win.
