Current odds:

Los Angeles Angels: (-121)

Seattle Mariners: (+110)

 

• With three-time American League MVP Mike Trout on the 60-day injured list with a strained right calf and veteran sluggers Anthony Rendon (strained left hamstring) and Justin Upton (lower back tightness) on the 10-day IL, Ohtani has helped pick up the slack. He’s hit 15 homers over his past 20 games and will participate not only in the Home Run Derby next week in Denver but will likely also play both ways in the All-Star Game.

• The Angels are scheduled to start right-hander Alex Cobb (6-3, 4.60 ERA) in the series opener. Cobb is 4-4 with a 6.41 ERA in 10 career starts against Seattle. He defeated the Mariners 12-5 on June 5 in Anaheim, Calif., allowing five runs on just three hits in seven innings.

• The Mariners are set to go with Marco Gonzales (1-5, 5.82), who will be seeking his first victory since April 15. Gonzales, who spent five weeks on the injured list with a left forearm strain and missed another start while on the paternity list, is 8-1 with a 3.55 ERA in 15 career starts against the Angels.

• While the Angels had Thursday off, the Mariners defeated the New York Yankees 4-0 as rookie Logan Gilbert and fellow right-handers Paul Sewald and Kendall Graveman combined on a one-hitter. Kyle Seager, Dylan Moore and Mitch Haniger homered for Seattle.
