Los Angeles will likely miss the 2012 MLB playoffs after suffering an 8-7 setback in Game 2 of Sunday\u2019s doubleheader against the Texas Rangers, but the clubhouse hasn\u2019t given up.\u00a0 \u201cWe have to go out there and take care of business,\u201d commented Angels outfielder Torii Hunter.\u00a0 \u201cBut at the same time, we\u2019re going to be watching.\u201d\u00a0 The Halos will be officially eliminated from the postseason if the Oakland Athletics win just once in their three-game series with the Rangers.\u00a0 Los Angeles is 11-1 on the road against teams with a losing home record, which is important to note when making your pro baseball picks.<\/p>\n

Angels starting pitcher C.J. Wilson (12-10, 3.86 ERA) has watched the club win six of his last seven outings, which includes a no-decision effort in a 4-3 home win over the Mariners last time out.\u00a0 The left-hander is 7-4 with a 3.93 ERA in 18 road games, issuing 48 walks and striking out 91 batters in 105.1 innings.\u00a0 In 49 career games (12 starts) versus the Mariners, Wilson has compiled a 10-5 record and 3.94 ERA, including a 5-3 mark and 3.12 ERA in 26 appearances at this ballpark.<\/p>\n

Seattle\u2019s bullpen faltered for a second consecutive game in suffering a 5-2 loss to the Athletics on Sunday, as it was a disappointing result due to finishing with an 11-6 advantage in the hits column.\u00a0 The Mariners have now dropped 10 of their last 13 games, with their record sitting at 73-86 going into the final regular-season series of the 2012 campaign.\u00a0 Seattle is 22-46 in its last 68 home games versus southpaw starters, while the \u201cover\u201d is 4-1-1 in the team\u2019s last six games overall.<\/p>\n

Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (13-8, 2.86 ERA) hasn\u2019t garnered a victory since Aug. 27, with the offense providing him just 11 runs of support in his last six efforts.\u00a0 The right-hander is 7-5 with a 2.39 ERA in 17 home outings, surrendering five home runs in 124.1 combined frames.\u00a0 In 29 career games versus the Angels, Hernandez has compiled a dismal 6-11 record and 3.86 ERA, which includes a no-decision in a 4-3 road loss last time out.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Mariners due to their 24-11 record in Hernandez\u2019s last 35 home starts versus winning teams.<\/p>\n
