Orioles vs Angels Prediction
I considered the Angels and the plus money because the Orioles have been disappointing this season, and we’re getting a nice price with Anderson, who is a two-time All-Star. However, Anderson has a 5.58 ERA and .262 allowed batting average in 30.2 road innings. Sugano is having a solid rookie season with a 3.23 ERA and 1.10 WHIP, and he held the Angels to three hits and one run in 7.1 innings a month ago. Sugano is also doing a better job lately of keeping the ball in the park. I’ll side with the Orioles, and I’ll take the RL to shave down the juice.
