Rays vs Angels Prediction

The Angels are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Rays and have won their last two meetings in Los Angeles.

In this Rays vs Angels Prediction, the Rays are coming as -120 road favorites. The Angels have been dominating the Rays in this series and now the Rays are going for a bullpen game. I don’t trust Grayson Rodriguez for the Angels, but two of his last three starts have been good and the Angels are a top-10 team against righties in the last 10 days. I will take a shot here with the Angels as home dogs to complete the series sweep.
