Both Vargas and Harren will have the upper hand tonight agsint these bottom ranked offenses. The Angels are still struggling and it's even worse vs. LHP where they are 28th with a .620 OPS this year as the Mariners are 27th vs. RHP but with a .664 OPS (slightly better). Vargas has impressive numbers in 10 career starts vs. the Angels posting a 2.39 ERA as he has held them to a .608 OPS in 150 AB with a .220 average. The Angels are hitting just .191 while scoring 3.28 runs per 9 vs. LHP on the road this year while sporting a 4.54 bullpen ERA. The Mariners are better but not by much at .199, 4.21 runs per 9 vs. RHP and 2.76 bullpen ERA. The home advantage along with the bullpen at home are the major reasons why I see the Mariners winning this game along with their bats being a little alive of late. Dan Haren may dominated the Mariners in his career but his margin for error is slim considering what the Angels offense has done. For the under I expect this to be a low scoring game and the under is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Seattle and the Angels are 15-5-1 on the under in their last 21 road games where they post just a .632 OPS this year.
