MLB Betting Trends
Seattle
The Mariners have lost five straight road games and have lost five of Hernandez’ last seven starts.
Los Angeles
The Angels have lost Barria’s last seven starts overall and his last four home starts. However, they have won 13 of their last 19 home games against a right-handed starter.
Prediction:
Hernandez hasn’t really ever gotten into consistent form this season and he has had a rough history with the Angels. Barria has been on the losing end a lot lately, but he still has respectable numbers and just hasn’t gotten a lot of run support. I think he gets the run support in this game and Los Angeles picks up another needed win at home.
The Pick: Los Angeles Angels -120
