Angels vs Orioles Prediction
I’m on the Angels here. It’s just really hard to back Baltimore given their issues against left-handed pitching so far this season, and Anderson has actually been a fairly reliable option for the Halos up to this point. The Orioles continue to have issues across the board, and I’m starting to wonder if the issues are going to be fixable before it’s too late. The Angels aren’t a team I rush to back consistently, but I think they’re good enough here to snag the win at home to win the series. Give me the Angels.
