Los Angeles Angels at Arizona Diamondbacks 6/12/21 - MLB Picks & Predictions

Chase Field will play host to a Saturday afternoon interleague battle between the Los Angeles Angels and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Last night, C Kurt Suzuki homered as part of a three-hit night to power Los Angels to a 6-5 road victory against Arizona in ten innings. SP Shohei Ohtani struck out eight batters in five innings and doubled twice for the Angels (31-32).

Thirty-three year old right-hander Alex Cobb (4-2 4.24 ERA) will take the mound for the Angels in this matchup. Los Angeles has won Cobb’s last three starts and he has allowed six runs over his last 19 innings of work.
