LA Angels vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

Both of the starting pitchers are coming off a strong start, and both teams have been inconsistent all season with the offense. Canning only gave up one run in his last start, and he’s going to step up in a big way here. The angels bats are also going to be ice-cold here, and it this game is going to end up lower scoring. This game won’t finish with more than five runs. Back the under to cash here with ease.
