For the first time in the 2021 season, the Seattle Mariners are playing the Los Angeles Angels and the most dangerous player in all of baseball, Mike Trout. You wouldn’t think that the Mariners would have two series against the Dodgers before seeing the Angels once, but that’s how 2021 has fared so far.
Both teams have been playing well so far this season, with the Mariners just a half-game up on the Angels after losing three of four to Houston.
