Betting Trends for vs
The Los Angeles Angels haven’t had much success this season as they sit in 4th place of the AL West, and a major reason behind their struggles has been a lack of consistency with their starting rotation. The one starter who has been spot on every time he has been put on the mound is Dylan Bundy as he is 5-2 with a 2.48 ERA, and he should have no problem putting down a lackluster Arizona lineup. Caleb Smith hasn’t gotten much action this season hence his low ERA, but he wasn’t great for the Marlins last season and that trend will continue on the road against Trout and Rendon. Los Angeles shouldn’t have much of a problem putting runs on the board with Smith and the terrible Diamondbacks bullpen. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Angels win 6-2.
