Seattle Mariners (69-67) vs. Los Angeles Angels (56-80)
Although the Seattle Mariners are still around the .500 winning percentage mark, recent performances hint at a possible wildcard push. The Mariners’ offensive stats, including a batting average of .216 and a slugging of .364, do not really jump out of the paper. However, there most likely approach was based on the pitching, as their pitching staff, including the good bullpen, has a 3.52 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Notably, their anticipated Dodgers vs Diamondbacks encounter today further sparks interest as fans and analysts compare the potential of these playoff-contending teams.
Conversely, the Los Angeles Angels have had a challenging season, reflected in their 56-80 record. Despite a slightly better batting average of .231 and a slugging percentage of .373, their pitching has faltered with a 4.54 ERA. The Angels, in light of the upcoming Braves vs Phillies MLB game, need to harness their home field advantage, where they have historically played well against Seattle, winning four of their last five encounters at Angel Stadium.
Bryce Miller (10-7, 3.23 ERA) vs. Caden Dana (0-0, 0.00)
Bryce Miller undoubtedly emerged as a mainstay in the Mariners squad. In the past, he has thrown Rhodes, Bullets and Bullpen with a 3.23 ERA and 0.98 WHIP through 150.2 innings pitched. His command and competence were impressive. Arsenal protected Seattle in terms of striking out the batters and limiting the walks, day after day, every fifth day a pitcher was ready. This performance will be needed as the Angles lineup can be erratic but at times, dangerous.
Conversely, Caden Dana represents a new hope for the Angels. Making his major league debut, Dana brings impressive Double-A stats, including a 2.59 ERA across 135.2 innings. While transitioning to the majors typically presents a significant challenge, especially against seasoned lineups, Dana’s youth and talent make him a wildcard in this matchup. How he adjusts to the pressure and quality of MLB hitters will be key in determining the Angels’ success in this game.
