Preview
The Los Angeles Angels and the Tampa Bay Rays will play the 3rd game of the series at the Los Angeles-Alameda County Coliseum on Wednesday night. In the second game of the series, Detmers pitched the majors' second no-hitter this season, cruising after he benefited from a borderline error call in the seventh inning as the Angels beat the Tampa Bay Rays 12-0.
Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays get here with a 18-13 record and have lost 3 games in a row. 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:
Shane McClanahan (2-2, 3.06 ERA) will be on the mound for the Rays in the 3rd game of the series. McClanahan earned the win over Seattle on Thursday, completing 5.1 innings and allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five. He started 2 games against the Angels last season and allowed 3 runs across 10 innings pitched.
Los Angeles Angels
The Angels have won 6 of their last 7 games and are 21-11 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.
Detmers threw a career-high 108 pitches in his 11th big-league start, striking out two and walking one. He completed the 12th no-hitter in franchise history when Yandy Diaz grounded out to shortstop Andrew Velazquez to end the game.
Probable Pitcher:
Shohei Ohtani (3-2, 3.08 ERA) will be on the mound for the Angels in the 3rd game of the series. The MVP threw 6 scoreless innings and struck out 11 against the Red Sox in his last start. He allowed no runs in his last start against the Rays across 5 innings pitched.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Tampa Bay's last 5 games.
Tampa Bay are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of LA Angels' last 6 games against Tampa Bay.
LA Angels are 9-1 SU in their last 10 games at home.
Prediction
The Angels offense is on fire as they have scored 23 runs in the last 2 games. They have won 6 of their last 7 games and won their last 3 series including this one. The Rays are a great team but have struggled offensively in their last 3 games so give me the Angels for the sweep.
