Dodgers vs Angels Prediction
As I said yesterday, backing the Angels isn’t an option because they’re downright awful. Kochanowicz doesn’t give much confidence with his 5.23 ERA and 1.48 WHIP on the season. In 34 road innings, Kochanowicz has a 6.62 ERA and a .259 batting average allowed. He’s allowed 35 hits and 25 earned runs in his last 28.2 innings overall. Kochanowicz should be excited about this matchup. Yamamoto has been solid this season and has been his best over his last three starts. A complete mismatch across the board. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
