This is a 1* Free Play on the LA Angels.

Wade LeBlanc has made the most of his time in the Mariners starting rotation, but we think he's in over his head here. The Angels go with Andrew Heaney (3-4, 3.12 ERA) who comes in off a spectacular effort against the Royals on Tuesday, going nine scoreless, while giving up one hit and one walk while striking out four. Heaney would throw 81 of his 116 pitches for strikes and to go along with his solid 58:19 K:BB this season, note that he is also holding opponents to a .218 batting average (additionally note that he's posted a sharp 2.59 ERA in all "night" contests.) LeBlanc (1-0, 2.94) earned a no-decision in his latest outing against Houston on Wednesday, giving up three earned runs off seven hits and three walks over four innings. The Mariners took two of three from the Rays over the weekend, but we think they'll stumble in their first game back in this unfavorable matchup on the mound. Consider LA in this one.
