Seattle at Los Angeles

The Seattle Mariners made a gallant run for the playoffs, but at 9.5 games out of a possible Wild Card spot, it appears they will once again come up short. The Mariners' streak of not making the playoffs goes back to 2001, so they will add another season outside looking in. The Angels have been a big disappointment, as they are a .500 team through 146 games, and any thoughts of making the playoffs vanished a long time ago. The Angels' plan to start Odrisamer Despaigne (2-2, 6.40), and likely follow with a bunch of relievers to finish out, like the Tampa Bay Rays, unfortunately the Angels don't have the length or strength in the pen to make it work like the Rays can. Back Seattle.
