Preview
The Los Angeles Angels and the Tampa Bay Rays will play the 2nd game of the series at the Los Angeles-Alameda County Coliseum on Tuesday night. The Angels won the 1st of the series 11-3.
Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays get here with a 18-12 record and have won 6 of their last 8 games. The team is averaging 4.43 runs while allowing 4.2 runs per game. Margot leads the team, batting for a .337 avg with 3 home runs and 20 RBI. Wander Franco has 4 home runs and 15 RBI.
Shane McClanahan is leading with 2 wins for the Rays and pitching for 3.06 ERA and 47 strikeouts.
Probable Pitcher:
Corey Kluber (1-1, 2.36 ERA) will be on the mound for the Rays in the 2nd game of the series. Kluber allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven across six scoreless innings Wednesday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision. In his last 3 starts against the Angels he has a 3.14 ERA and 19 strikeouts across 20 innings pitched.
Los Angeles Angels
The Angels have won 5 of their last 6 games and are 20-11 so far this season. They are currently the #3 offense in the MLB averaging 4.84 runs per game while allowing 3.7 runs. Mike Trout leads the team with a .319 avg, 7 home runs and 16 RBI. Jared Walsh has 6 Home runs and 22 RBI.
Shohei Ohtani can do it all on a baseball field, yet the Japanese two-way sensation had never hit a grand slam as a professional.
Probable Pitcher:
Reid Detmers (1-1, 5.32 ERA) will be on the mound for the Angels in the 2nd game of the series. Detmers gave up three runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox. He struck out two and did not factor into the decision.
BETTING TRENDS
Tampa Bay are 9-3 SU in their last 12 games against LA Angels.
Tampa Bay are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games on the road.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of LA Angels' last 5 games against Tampa Bay.
LA Angels are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games at home.
Prediction
The Angels offense exploded in the first of the series beating the Rays 11-3 and Ohtani hit his first grand slam of his career. The team is carrying some momentum as they have won 5 of their last 6 games and won their last 2 series. The Rays are a great team but have struggled offensively in their last 2 games so I'll gladly take the plus money with the Angels.
