Los Angeles Angels at Atlanta Braves 7/24/22 - MLB Picks & Predictions

In Sunday afternoon MLB action, the Los Angeles Angels and the Atlanta Braves will conclude their series from Truist Park. The Angels (39-55) are in the midst of a five-game losing streak and have fallen way out of contention in the AL West Division standings. Last night, All-Star Shohei Ohtani hit his 20th home run of the season during a 7-2 road loss.

Twenty-three year old lefty Reid Detmers (2-3 4.11 ERA) has pitched well in his short time at the major league level. Through 70 innings of work, Detmers has struck out 57 batters and owns a solid 1.07 WHIP.

The Atlanta Braves have won 33 of their first 53 home games and have closed within a half-game of NL East Division leading New York. During Saturday's home victory, All-Star 3B Austin Riley launched his 28th home run as part of a three-hit night. SS Dansby Swanson contributed two hits and scored a pair of runs for the Braves (58-38).

Twenty-four year old righty Ian Anderson (8-5 4.79 ERA) is starting to show signs of returning to form. The Braves have won Anderson’s last three starts and he has allowed just four runs over his last 15 plus frames.
