Angels vs Tigers Prediction & Pick
The Angels turn to Patrick Sandoval in Game 2. The 26-year-old has logged a 4.16 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 17 starts (5-7 record) this campaign. On the other side, Matt Manning draws the start for the Tigers. He has posted a 3.19 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across seven appearances (3-1 record) in 2023.
Manning has looked great since returning from a foot injury and is riding a stretch where he has given up 1 earned run over his last 14.1 innings. It's worth noting four Angels hitters have faced Manning before and they are hitting a combined .105 (2-for-19) against him. That bodes well for Detroit.
LA has had some notable road woes as of late, too. The Angels have lost six of their last seven away games and five of those six losses have come by a multi-run margin. Keep in mind it's possible Ohtani doesn't play in this game after taking the mound in Game 1, which obviously hurts the road squad.
Final Score Prediction:'Angels: 4 | Tigers: 6
Angels vs Tigers Best Bet
