Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels Prediction

Leading into Monday’s AL West matchup between Seatle and Los Angeles, the Angels are the favorite on the moneyline. Even though LA has Shohei Ohtani on the mound, I don’t expect the Angels to provide enough run support vs Luis Castillo. Look for the Mariners to come away with the win.
