Orioles vs Angels Prediction
I’m not excited to get behind either of these teams or pitchers. The Angels are winning, but we know regression is right around the corner. Kochanowicz has a 5.61 ERA and 1.63 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed eight runs in his last seven innings. Morton is a two-time champion and all-star, but at 41 years old, he’s an innings eater. Morton has a 6.59 ERA and 1.70 WHIP on the season. In 35.2 home innings, Morton has a 5.80 ERA and a .282 allowed batting average. I have zero confidence in either pitcher. I expect a high-scoring contest. Give me the over.
