Royals vs Angels Prediction
Both teams are tied 3-3 wins in their last 6 head-to-head meetings, but the Royals are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Los Angeles. Under is 6-1 in their last 7 meetings.
In this Royals vs Angels Prediction, the Royals are coming as -155 road favorites. The Royals are the only team with something to play for, even though their chances of making it to the Wild Card are pretty slim. The Angels are going for a bullpen game, and they have one of the worst bullpens in baseball, and on the flip side, I don’t trust Ragans, as he has been mediocre this season, and not in good form lately, with a 6.23 ERA across his last 5 starts. I expect runs in this game, so take the over 8.5 in this one.
