Seattle

The Mariners are currently in the final Wild Card spot, delivering on the vision they had when they signed Robinson Cano – who is having an MVP season.

If they are going to make a real push in the second half they are going to have to get more from Logan Morrison and Corey Hart. Those guys may not be All-Star calibre but they are not scrubs either. Cano can not do it all on their own.

Felix Hernandez is having a great season, including an impressive first inning at the All-Star game.

In fact he is on pace for his best season yet, possibly winning 20 games for the first time in his career. It is hard to find a more consistent arm in the league this season as he has given up more than 3ER just once and hasn’t given up more than 2ER in a starts since the middle of May.

He is dominating and might be getting better which is scary.

Los Angeles

The Angels come out of the All-Star break hot on the heels of Oakland. Before the break ended they had won 10 of 11 and Mike Trout is making a strong bid for the MVP award as well.

Trout and Pujols both have 20 or more homers so now they just need to get more from Josh Hamilton who has just 5 in limited action.

The Angels have the top scoring team in the Majors but you could argue that they have room to be better too once he gets going. I think they are going to need it too because their pitching is not superb.

As good as The King has been Garrett Richards comes into Saturday with the same record of 11-2. His numbers are very impressive this season as he is finally living up to the potential for the Angels. He is not quite as consistent or as dominant as Hernandez but that is a pretty high benchmark.

The Angels have won the last 8 times he took the hill and in his lone start against the Mariners he pitched 7 scoreless innings giving up just one hit.

Twice all season have the Mariners been underdogs in a game started by the King. They have a 1-1 record in those contests and the value on the Mariners side is just too good to ignore.

Sure I accept that Richards is having a stellar season but you don’t go against the King.

The team is 14-6 when he starts this season.

Total prediction: Over
Score prediction: Seattle 5 – Los Angeles 2
