Seattle is coming off a 7-6 loss at Houston to complete a 4-games sweep. This followed a 3-game sweep for them at Texas. Los Angeles lost 5-0 at San Francisco to complete a 3-game sweep. They were 2-4 on the road trip.
The Angels have a 2-1 edge in games between the teams in 2015 but the Mariners have won 6 of the last 9 games between these two AL West foes.
Hernandez is coming off another win and the club is 5-0 in his 5 starts. He allowed 2 ERs in 6.2 innings and has 4 Q starts on the year, never allowing more than 3 runs in any start. Shoemaker had a no decision in his last outing (5.2 innings, 3 ERs). He hasn’t gotten out of the 7th inning in any of his starts and has allowed at least 3 runs in all 4 of his starts.
Only one Seattle hitter has double-digit ABs vs. Shoemaker and the right-hander hasn’t allowed a SB to any Mariners player. SS Brad Miller and 3B Kyle Seager have hit homers, while 1B Logan Morrison (.600), 2B Robinson Cano (.429) and OF Austin Jackson (.333) have had success in their few ABs vs. Shoemaker. Angels OF Mike Trout owns Fernandez (19-52, .365 BA, 3 HRs, 12 RBIs) but the fun stops there. The next highest BA by any LA hitter is .215 by SS Erick Aybar. A trio of Angels’ hitters might want to sit this one out. OF Kole Calhoun, 3B David Freese and OF Matt Joyce are a combined 2-52 (.039) vs. the dominating right-hander.

Free MLB Pick
Both teams are off to a poor start on the season and both teams are on losing streaks getting swept by their last opponent. The Mariners do have the big advantage of having their Ace on the mound for the opener and should get back on the winning track. Starter Felix Hernandez has been brilliant this season and has those sort of numbers versus the Angels (5 starts 35 innings 2 runs). Matt Shoemaker started the season with two Q starts but has tailed off in his last two. He has owned Seattle with Los Angeles winning all four of his lifetime starts versus them with 7 runs allowed 24 innings. The number is high and their of course is always the chance of a 2-1 type game either way, so we’re going to suggest a safety bet on the under to go with our site play.
