Angels vs Tigers Prediction & Pick
The Angels are doing everything they can to stay competitive in the AL Wild Card race. They are back over the .500 mark and have Griffin Canning on the mound against Detroit. Canning has logged a 4.52 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 15 appearances (6-4 record). He tallied 12 strikeouts in his last outing as well.
The Tigers are countering with Eduardo Rodriguez, who as posted a 2.69 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 14 starts (6-5 record). The veteran has allowed less than 3 earned runs in eight of his last 10 starts, but draws a tough matchup on Tuesday as LA ranks seventh in on-base percentage against lefties ( .339).
There's a reason this game is listed as a toss-up on FanDuel Sportsbook. It could go either way, but I'll side with the road team. The Angels have won nine of their last 13 games against the Tigers and have the best player in baseball on their side. Shohei Ohtani has already hit one home run off Rodriguez.
Final Score Prediction:'Angels: 5 | Tigers: 3
Angels vs Tigers Best Bet
The Angels' offense has long been centered around Shohei Ohtani, but that has been especially true as of late . The 29-year-old has gotten on base in eight of LA's nine games since returning from the All-Star break and has scored a run in all eight of those games, too. Hitting toward the top of the lineup gives him more than enough chances to cross home plate against an average pitching staff.
