Final Lineups
Los Angeles Angels @ Seattle Mariners · Thursday, Jul 2, 2026
Los Angeles has a few hitters with meaningful history against Bryce Miller, and Josh Lowe stands out most by far at 5-for-7 with a 2.143 OPS. Zach Neto is 2-for-14 in 17 PA with a .437 OPS, Nolan Schanuel is 1-for-11 in 12 PA with a .258 OPS, and Jorge Soler is 1-for-5 in 8 PA with a .700 OPS.

Denzer Guzman, Wade Meckler, and Oswald Peraza have no MLB history vs Miller.
Seattle’s lineup is almost entirely seeing Walbert Ureña for the first time. J.P. Crawford, Julio Rodríguez, Dominic Canzone, Randy Arozarena, Josh Naylor, Cal Raleigh, Luke Raley, Cole Young, and Colt Emerson all have no MLB history vs Ureña.

Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners (2026-07-02). Walbert Ureña vs Bryce Miller at T-Mobile Park.
Walbert Ureña, pitching for the Angels, holds a 3.14 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP across 71.2 innings this season, with a K/9 of 8.67 and a BB/9 of 4.65. His recent trend metrics indicate a downward ERA trend, though his quality start percentage is 33.3. Bryce Miller of the Mariners boasts a significantly lower 1.97 ERA and 0.72 WHIP over 45.2 innings, featuring a strong 10.64 K/9 and an excellent 0.99 BB/9. Miller's ERA trend is currently upward, yet his quality start percentage matches Ureña's at 33.3. Ureña's last five starts show inconsistency, with a 4.76 ERA in one outing and a 2.35 ERA in another, while Miller has been more consistent, recording zero earned runs in three of his last five starts, maintaining a low ERA in that span.
The Angels offense posts a 0.714 OPS and has scored 391 runs, supported by 101 home runs, while their pitching staff carries a 4.63 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. The Mariners offense has a 0.697 OPS and 356 runs scored, with 105 home runs, and their pitching staff demonstrates a superior 3.69 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Seattle's pitching has a clear advantage in efficiency and run prevention, while both offenses exhibit similar power numbers but the Angels have a slight edge in overall offensive production.
Recent head-to-head matchups between these two clubs have heavily favored the Mariners, with Seattle winning 9 of the last 13 contests. The total line for this game is set at 7.5, which aligns with the strong pitching performance expected from Bryce Miller, potentially limiting the Angels' scoring opportunities. However, Ureña's higher walk rate and the Angels' offensive capabilities could challenge this total, especially if Ureña struggles with command.
