Angels vs Padres Prediction
The Angels are having a decent week but they’re just one of those teams that I never trust. I’ve spent a lot of time over the years faking the Angels. I don’t believe this run will last. The Padres are playing with a horseshoe up their behind and have some magic to them early this season. King is off to a strong start with a 2.78 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 22.2 innings. You kind of have to keep riding the hot hand with the Padres until it runs cold. I’ll lay the cheap price with the Padres.
