Tigers vs Angels Prediction

The Angels just aren’t a team I’m willing to back, especially on the road, where they have just 8 wins. The Tigers are better than what they’ve shown up to this point, and games like this at home are spots where they need to take advantage. Montero has been respectable this season, especially at home, where he has a 3.48 ERA and a .200 allowed batting average in 33.2 innings. The price is reasonable. I’ll continue to fade the Angels, a franchise that continues to go nowhere fast. Give me the Tigers.
