Cleveland Guardians vs LA Angels Prediction

Jose Soriano has pitched his best on the road this season, but the Angels have had issues winning when he pitches. Tanner Bibee is coming off a strong April, and you’d assume he can keep it up given his ability. The Cleveland Guardians are the most profitable team in baseball, and the Angels continue to rack up the losses. No reason for me to step in front of the Guardians, especially at home. Give me the Guardians and the RL for max betting value.
