Prediction
The pitching matchup sees Jose Soriano (5-7, 3.71 ERA) for the Angels against Logan Gilbert (6-5, 2.79 ERA) for the Mariners. Soriano gotten shown solid results on the road, while Gilbert has been reliable at home. Given their recent performances, a low-scoring contest seems likely. While the Angels are welcoming back one of their better hitters in Rengifo, the Mariners placed All-Star Julio Rodriguez on the injured list Tuesday amid a series of roster moves, which could tilt the advantage to the Angels.
