Neither starter, Patrick Sandoval nor rookie Bryan Woo, is in good form. The bullpens have mileage on them.

So it's not too big of a task for each team to produce at least four runs.

Seattle has done that in five of its last seven games. The Mariners rank 10th in runs and homers. They draw Sandoval, who has surrendered nine earned runs in his past two starts spanning 8 2/3 innings. During this two-game span, Sandoval has given up 12 hits and seven walks. The Angels have the seventh-highest bullpen ERA.

Woo is off his second-worst outing of the season. He gave up five earned runs to the Reds in five innings during his last start.

I'm not counting on it, but there's a chance Shohei Ohtani returns to the Angels' lineup today. He was nearly ready last night.
