Ryan Johnson is scheduled to start for Los Angeles. He enters this game with a 1-2 record, an 8.84 ERA, a 1.71 WHIP, and 19.1 innings pitched. He has allowed 24 hits while striking out 15 batters, walking 9, and giving up 5 home runs.

He has surrendered 106 hits while recording 84 strikeouts, issuing 23 walks, and allowing 9 home runs. Based strictly on the numbers provided, Kirby enters this matchup with the stronger overall pitching profile.
Los Angeles Seeks Consecutive Road Success
The Angels bring a 35-49 overall record and a 15-27 road record into this contest. Los Angeles has recently won over the Athletics, previously lost to the Athletics, and before that took two of three games from Baltimore. The Angels have won three of their last five games and will look to carry that momentum into this series.
Los Angeles is batting .240 with 382 runs, 680 hits, 99 home runs, a .319 on-base percentage, and a .398 slugging percentage. The pitching staff owns a 4.63 ERA, a 1.41 WHIP, 380 walks, 737 strikeouts, and a .237 opponent batting average. The Angels are 22-35 in night games.
The biggest strength for Los Angeles is its offensive production. The Angels have scored more runs, collected more hits, and own higher batting, on-base, and slugging percentages than Seattle. They have also matched the Mariners with 737 strikeouts from their pitching staff, showing the ability to generate swings and misses despite the higher ERA.
Seattle Returns Home Looking to Bounce Back
The Mariners enter Monday night with a 42-42 overall record and a 22-19 mark at home. Seattle has recently lost to Cleveland, previously defeated Cleveland, dropped two games to Pittsburgh, and earned a win over Pittsburgh. That stretch leaves the Mariners with a 2-3 record over their last five games.
Seattle is batting .230 with 337 runs, 641 hits, 102 home runs, a .311 on-base percentage, and a .383 slugging percentage. The Mariners have compiled a 3.68 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP, 210 walks, 737 strikeouts, and a .240 opponent batting average. They are 25-28 in night games.
Seattle’s biggest advantage is its pitching. The Mariners own a significantly lower ERA and WHIP than the Angels while also issuing far fewer walks. That combination has helped offset an offense that has produced fewer runs than Los Angeles this season.
Los Angeles Angels vs Seattle Mariners Picks and Prediction
Los Angeles Angels vs Seattle Mariners Pick
- Pick: Seattle Mariners Moneyline
Seattle is my choice in this matchup. George Kirby owns the stronger numbers among the projected starters, and the Mariners have the better overall record and home record. While the Angels have been more productive offensively, Seattle’s pitching staff has been far more effective with a 3.68 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. Those advantages make the Mariners the side I trust most.
Los Angeles Angels vs Seattle Mariners Total Pick
- Pick: Under 8.5
I would take the under if the total is set at 8.5. Seattle’s pitching staff has been one of the stronger units in this matchup, and George Kirby enters with a 3.94 ERA over 96.0 innings. Although Los Angeles has posted better offensive numbers than Seattle, the Mariners’ run prevention gives me confidence that this game stays below the number.
Final Score Prediction: Seattle Mariners 5 – Los Angeles Angels 3
