Angels vs Tigers Prediction
The Tigers have torn the cover off the ball these last couple of weeks, and there’s no reason to think things stop now. Hendricks has been a mess these last two seasons, and that includes giving up 20 hits and 17 runs in 23 innings this season. Hendricks also has 12 walks to go with 13 strikeouts. The Angels also aren’t scoring runs and have lost seven straight games overall.
The Angels are 5-16 since starting the season with a 7-3 record. Flaherty has had his shaky moments through 32.1 innings and needs to limit his walk rate, but it’s nothing compared to what the Angels are doing right now. We’ve been making a killing fading the Angels during this losing stretch, and there’s no reason to stop now. Give me the Tigers and the RL for max betting value.
