Angels vs Reds Prediction
The Reds are 10-2 in their last 12 meetings against the Angels and are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings in Cincinnati.
In this Angels vs Reds Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. Both starting pitchers have been very good this season, with Soriano having just one earned run in three starts this season. Both teams have a top-11 bullpen ERA this season and have not been hitting the ball very well, averaging just 7.4 runs per game combined. I expect a low-scoring affair today and with the total set at 8.5 runs, I will gladly go under that number.
