The AL West leading Seattle Mariners will open a 4-game set tonight with the 4th place Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim. The Mariners are coming off a 2-game sweep of the San Diego Padres and are expected to have Luis Castillo on the bump. Castillo is 7-9 with a respectable ERA of 3.72, a 1.16 WHIP, and was impressive in his last turn when in yielded just 2 hits and 1 run against the Toronto Blue Jays resulting in a 2-1 Seattle victory. On the flip side, the Angels are expected to send Jack Kochanowicz to the rubber and he will be making his big league debut. In AA this season, not AAA, he was not that impressive with a record of 5-6 and a 4.55 ERA. The Mariners swept the Angels earlier this year in a 3-game series and are 9-1 in the last 10 meetings with the Halos.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SEATTLE MARINERS
