Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. I get the case to be made for either side here, but the Phillies have been really solid against lefties in August, a lot more solid than I’m used to them being over the last little bit so I think that spells trouble for Reid Detmers, but I also think Andrew Painter can get hit here as he still has that ERA over six and I look for the over to cash here. Give me the over.
