Reds vs Angels Prediction

Both of these teams come into this series right around the .500 mark on the season, but the Reds are coming off of a tough series in Seattle. Cincinnati was swept in three games by Seattle and they only scored five runs in three games. LA was able to get a series split in Tampa Bay and their offense has been pretty solid in their last five games. The Angels are starting Tyler Anderson, who has allowed three earned runs and 12 hits over 16.1 innings in three starts. Cincinnati is starting Nick Lodolo, who threw 5.2 shutout innings against the White Sox in his first start. Tyler Anderson has been very good for the Angels so far this season and I am going to back him to have another solid outing here. Take the Angels in this game.
