Braves vs Angels Prediction
I’m not looking to pick a side in this contest, and instead, I’m interested in the over. Anderson is coming off a horrible June where he allowed 24 hits and 19 runs in 24.2 innings, and he’s awful on the road, where he has a 6.26 ERA and .292 allowed batting average. Fuentes has had issues in his first 8.1 MLB innings, allowing 14 hits and 10 runs. Neither of these pitchers gives me the warm and fuzzy feeling heading into Tuesday night. I expect some fireworks. Give me the over.
