Gilbert Becomes the Focus in Anaheim

Seattle and Los Angeles have spent much of the season searching for offense, ranking 28th and 29th in runs per game. That puts extra weight on Logan Gilbert, who has a 3.72 ERA, 3.84 FIP and 1.05 WHIP across 172 innings, along with 9.8 K/9. Ryan Johnson enters at 5.12 ERA and 5.91 FIP and has allowed 1.9 homers per nine. The Angels’ bullpen ERA is slightly better, so this is not a one-category matchup. Still, Seattle has won four of seven in the season series and heads to Anaheim with the more convincing starter.
