Tigers vs Angels Prediction
Soriano is a strong pitcher and gives the Angels a chance every night, but they’re just not a team I’m excited to back. I’ve said it time and time again and will continue to say it. The Angels suck. The Tigers are better than what they’ve shown up to this point, and Mize looks like an all-star with a 2.47 ERA and 0.98 WHIP through 43.2 innings. It’s home games like this that the Tigers need to take advantage of if they’re going to turn this season around. No excuses. Give me the Tigers and the reasonable price.
