Angels Offense Looked Good on Monday
The Angels come into this game with a 2-2 record overall, but they sure looked good on Monday, scoring seven runs. Mike Trout continues to carry the team and on Monday he finished with two hits and both hits were solo home runs. The runners in front of him need to try to get on base to really help the offense. Getting the start for the Angels will be Tyler Anderson, and he hopes to bounce back from last year. Anderson finished with a 6-6 record and an ERA of 5.43. After this series, the Angels will face off against the Red Sox and Rays.

At the end of the first inning they were up 4-0, but they couldn’t get anything else going, and they ended up losing 7-4. Luis Arraez did finish with two hits, one run, and three walks. Getting the start for the Marlins will be Jesus Luzardo who will be starting his second game of the season. Against the Pirates, he went five innings giving up two hits and two runs.

Angels vs Marlins Betting Prediction
Luzardo was pretty strong in his first start, but I just don’t trust this Marlins team right now. The Angels send Tyler Anderson to the mound, and even if he doesn’t have the best start here, he’s going to get enough run support here. The Angels bats are going to stay hot led by Mike Trout, and that will be the difference here as the Angels are going to get the job done. Back the Angels on the money line.
