Prediction

Mike Trout is on fire right now as he has hit a home run in 7 straight games but still the Angels have lost in 4 of them. For this game they'll send Jose Suarez to the mound who's coming from his best start of the season as he allowed only 3 hits and pitched 7 scoreless innings vs Tigers. The Guardians will send the rookie Cody Morris to the mound who has solid in his 2nd start this season allowing no runs in 4 innings pitched vs Royals. Expect another close game as both starters should be good on the mound. Take the under.

PICK: Under 8 (-110)
