Cleveland Guardians vs Los Angeles Angels 9/13/22 MLB Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Los Angeles Angels and the Cleveland Guardians meet in MLB action from Progressive Field on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Angels will be out to rebound from a 5-4 loss to the Guardians in Monday’s series opener. Mike Trout has 102 hits, 20 doubles, 69 RBIs and 35 home runs while Jared Walsh has 44 RBIs and Shohei Ohtani has 135 hits while adding 23 doubles, 34 home runs and 88 RBIs. Taylor Ward also has a .265 batting average as well this season. Jose Suarez will start here and is 6-6 with a 3.77 ERA and 84 strikeouts this season.

The Cleveland Guardians will look to add to their win over the Angels from Monday’s matchup. Jose Ramirez has 144 hits, 26 home runs and 109 RBIs along with a .280 batting average while Owen Miller has a .244 batting average with 24 doubles as well this season. Ramirez also has 40 doubles and Steven Kwan has 138 hits with 21 doubles as well as a .292 batting average this season. Ramirez has 4 triples while Amed Rosario has 7 triples as well as a team-high 151 hits and Andres Gimenez has a .297 batting average on the year. Cody Morris will start here and is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA and 5 strikeouts this season.

Los Angeles is 4-10 in their last 14 Tuesday games and 15-38 in their last 53 games against at eam with a winning record while the over is 4-1-2 in their last 7 games overall. Cleveland is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall and 17-7 in their last 24 home games against a team with a losing record while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games against a team with a left-handed starter.

I get the case to be made for the Angels with the value as Jose Suarez has actually pitched really well since the all-star break. However, the Guardians simply need the wins a lot more and I don’t feel like Terry Francona’s just going to trot anyone out to the mound with the Guardians in the thick of the AL Central division race. I think the Guardians are just playing better ball right now, so give me Cleveland.
