Angels at Guardians picks and predictions
Prediction
Angels 5, Guardians 4
Money line
Suarez has done well to limit hard contact of late. With Cleveland’s issues against southpaws and the back of the Angel bullpen being well-rested, BACK LOS ANGELES (+110).
Run line/Against the spread
The extra juice here drowns out any potential on a Los Angeles lean. PASS.
Over/Under
Not much of a lean here, but the price makes for a lean toward the Over. Consider a play on the OVER 8.5 (+100).
