Prediction
Angels 4, Dodgers 3
Money line (ML)
The Dodgers (-176) have nothing to play for, as they’ve already locked in for the postseason, while the ANGELS (+155) are eliminated from the playoffs. Despite the fact they have no shot at the postseason, take the Halos to end on a high note, especially with one of their top pitchers on the hill.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The ANGELS (+1.5, -134) are worth a look if you want a little insurance and don’t trust them on the money line. While they’re out of the race for the playoffs, they are finishing on a high note with six wins in the past eight outings, and they’re 5-3 in the past eight vs. NL West squads.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 9 (-110) is the play on Saturday night after a high-scoring battle on Friday night. Despite Friday’s Over, the Under is still 7-2 in the previous nine meetings at Dodger Stadium between these two SoCal rivals.
