Prime-Time First TD Bets — Sunday Night Football, Week 16
Alex Christenson
Welcome back to another Sunday edition of MLB Best Bets presented by FTN! Today we’ll have some action in the third game of a weekend series between the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels taking place at Angel Stadium in Anaheim.
Logan Gilbert will take the mound this afternoon for Seattle against the Angels’ Griffin Canning. The rubber match between these two division foes could set us up for another strong performance form Gilbert.
The righty enters today with a 4-1 career record against the Angels and a 3.51 ERA with 44 strikeouts across that stretch. The Angels have the 11th-highest team K% against RHP this season (23.4%).
Best Bet
Logan Gilbert o5.5 Strikeouts
(-110 DraftKings Sportsbook)
Gilbert has had at least 6 strikeouts in 10 of his 12 starts this season, and in 5 of his 6 career starts against the Angels. Gilbert has shown upside in the strikeout department as his K% this season has risen to (28.2%) compared to (22.7%) last year. Today will back the young right handed to continue his success against a strikeout friendly divisional foe. Best of luck!
