Los Angeles Angels vs. Cincinnati Reds Prediction

I’m on the Reds here. I think Williamson’s a decent option, he just has to navigate with pitching his home starts at Great American with the hitter-friendly nature of that ballpark. That being said, the Angels have struggled against lefties this year and I haven’t been all that sold on Klassen coming out of his debut last time out. I’ll back the Reds at home here.
