Los Angeles at Seattle

The Los Angeles Angels have won five in a row and eight of their last 10 after sweeping Cincinnati in a three-game series. Brett Oberholtzer started his first game of the season and gave up a run and three hits in three innings at Detroit on Saturday. Seattle has gone into a tailspin, losing five straight and eight of its last nine. The Mariners have scored more than three runs just once over their last six games. The pitching has also been a problem as Texas scored 28 runs while sweeping the Mariners in a three-game series this week. Seattle will turn to Ariel Miranda, who was acquired from Baltimore in August. Miranda has given up nine runs and 12 hits his last 14 2/3 innings and his ERA is 5.70. He has faced the Angels for five innings and gave up three runs in five innings. Seattle has lost all four of Miranda's starts and also their last four games against left-handed starters. Back the Angels.
