The Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Angels will play the rubber match of a 3-game set tonight at Safeco Field. Seattle will be sending the lefty Ariel Miranda to the hill and over his last 3 outings, he is 2-1, with a 2.93 ERA, a 0.98 WHIP and the Mariners are 5-1 in Miranda’s last 6 home starts. The Angels reach down to their AAA affiliate to bring back up Alex Meyer and in 10 career Big League appearances, Meyer has an ERA of 6.54. Meyer faced the Mariners in one outing last year and he surrendered 4 runs on 5 hits in 4 innings of work, which included a 2-run dinger by Seattle’s Nelson Cruz. Cruz has been on fire, going 20-43 during his 12-game hitting streak. I like Seattle in this spot.
Today’s pick:
