Today’s matchup is between the Seattle Mariners (29-31) and the Los Angeles Angels (27-31). The Mariners have won 1 of their last 5 games & the Angels have won 3 of their last 5 games.
The Mariners are starting Logan Gilbert (RHP), on the mound who is 0-2 on the season pitching a 5.94 ERA, 3.68 FIP, .334 wOBA, K% of 21.9%, BB% of 4.1%, 93.9 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.26 WHIP in 16.2 innings pitched.
The Angels are starting Patrick Sandoval (LHP), who is 0-1 on the season with a 3.80 ERA, 5.67 FIP, .359 wOBA, K% of 18.5%, BB% of 10.9%, 91.0 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.45 WHIP in 21.1 innings pitched.
The Mariners are 6th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Angels are 22nd.
On the hitting side, the Mariners have a .286 wOBA and a .283 OBP. The Angels have a .311 wOBA and a .306 OBP. The Mariners have 66 HRs this season while the Angels have 70 HRs.
I suspect Logan Gilbert (Mariners) will be improving as the season goes on and I believe he's the more talented pitcher of the two. Both teams have power & I think there will be runs scored so the total is interesting but I'll take the Mariners pitching to win the game.
