Los Angeles Angels prepare for road series against Seattle Mariners

The Los Angeles Angels travel to Seattle for a three‑game road series that begins on June 30 at T‑Mobile Park. Pitcher Ryan Johnson (1‑2, 8.84 ERA) will start for the Angels, while Seattle will counter with George Kirby (6‑7, 3.94 ERA). Both clubs have been dealing with injuries, with key Angels hitters such as Mike Trout and Zach Neto on the 10‑day IL, and the Mariners missing several regulars, including Cole Young (IL) and Logan Evans (IL).

The matchup pits the Angels, five games behind in the AL West, against a Mariners squad that sits second in the division. Recent performance shows the Mariners have limited opponents to three runs or fewer in 13 straight games, while the Angels are looking to build on a recent series win over the Athletics. Betting lines from DraftKings list the Mariners as -224 favorites, with a total run over/under set at 8.

Key hitters include the Mariners’ Julio Rodríguez, who is hitting .254 with 14 homers, and Angels outfielder Jo Adell, who holds a .286 career average against Kirby. Analysts suggest the Angels may find value in the +1.5 run line and an under‑8 run total, given the struggling offenses and strong pitching on both sides.
