2** Free MLB Play - #Angels vs. #Mariners

I'll take the Mariners here as they will put a ton of lefties out there to face Garret Richards who is just not a very good pitcher on the road. The Mariners have owned the Angels at home of late and have a .856 OPS vs. Ricahrds in 67 total AB. Richards is .31 pts better in opponent average vs. RHB overall last year and .56 better on the road, but as I mentioned he's going to face 7 or 8 left handed bats that already have success against him.
On the other rubber the Mariners will start a lefty and they are not hitting lefties well right now. Mariners will likely go to the bullpen early with a young guy out there, but their bullpen ERA is over 4 runs better than the Angels who are only hitting .221 with 3.38 runs per 9 vs. LHP.
