Angels likely to rely on bullpen against Mariners

The starting pitchers on Sunday are Jesse Chavez for the Los Angeles Angels and James Paxton for the Seattle Mariners, but chances of them being on the mound late in the game are long. Chavez (5-8, 5.04 ERA), a hard-luck loser in one of the four games against the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, has made 18 appearances against the Mariners, posting a 1-6 record and 5.40 ERA. Paxton (5-3, 3.44) is making his ninth career start against the Angels, with a 3-2 record and 2.12 ERA.
