Dodgers vs Angels Prediction

The Angels barely win, and when they do, they don’t string wins together. Detmers doesn’t make things any better as he’s been hittable all season, which includes allowing 30 hits and 19 earned runs in his last 34.1 innings. Sasaki is coming off a strong May where he allowed 22 hits and 10 earned runs in 28.1 innings while averaging a strikeout per frame. I love looking for chances to fade the Dodgers and these inflated lines, but the Angels suck. I have to side with the Dodgers, and I’ll lay the RL to lower the price.
