Aces are wild in this AL West showdown featuring two teams that are searching for some type of momentum.
Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels
Seattle is enjoying a three-game win streak (+307) and has won five of its last seven games due to an offensive resurgence. Over the last six games, the offense is batting .391 with runners in scoring position, which is a dramatic difference from batting .235 in the first 41 games of the season. This production has led to the team going over the total in four straight games for the first time all season. OF Ichiro Suzuki has never been the team’s problem during the month of May, coming in with the highest career batting average for a player with a minimum of 300 plate appearances (.363). The Mariners are 8-16 this month (-1,000) and have a horrible 27-54 (-3,110) record over the last three years in May.
