Free MLB Picks - Angels at Mariners MLB Odds: The Los Angeles Angels will travel north to play a series with a hungry Seattle Mariners team that has little hope of winning the American League West but still has fading Wild Card hopes as the MLB season rolls into September. Lefthander Joe Saunders will take the mound for the Angels to start this game. Saunders is 10-7 this season with a 5.27 ERA. Saunders's opponent in this one will be Lucas French. The Mariners lefthander has a 4.14 ERA to go along with a 4-3 record this season.

In his last start against Detroit, Saunders allowed two runs over five innings with the two runs coming on a homer by Adam Everett with two outs in the fifth inning. Saunders faces the Mariners, a team he has fared well against in the past, with a 6-1 career record and a 3.60 ERA in eight starts against Seattle.

French seems to be finding his way nicely for the Mariners, as he went 5 2/3 innings in his last start against the A's, earning the win by allowing three runs on six hits. He's won two starts in a row now and is 3-1 with Seattle since coming over in a July 31 trade from Detroit.
