Who Wins?
Prediction: Seattle Mariners. Sure, most of their top performers in Spring Training are gone, opening the MLB regular season in Japan. But this is a team that has played a balanced game as evidenced by their zero run differential. On the other hand, the Angels are a -10 in run difference, have given up the most runs in Spring Training and have the next to last ERA at 6.04.
