Angels at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Angels 2

Moneyline

Snell has been fantastic over the last 7 starts, allowing only 4 total runs in 42 innings. He has allowed 2 or fewer runs in 9 of his last 10 outings.

The Angels managed to score only 8 total runs in their 3-game series against Arizona, losing 2 of 3.

Despite their recent struggles, the Padres should take the opener, but the line is such that it doesn’t make sense to bet them on the moneyline unless you include it in a parlay bet.

PASS. 

Run line/Against the spread

The Angels’ last 4 losses and 7 of their last 8 have been by 2 or more runs. They are 41-45 ATS overall this season.

The Padres are 39-45 ATS overall this season and 16-24 ATS at home, but Snell’s pitching against a struggling Angels team should get them on track.

BET PADRES -1.5 (+110).

Over/Under

The Angels’ last 3 games and 6 of their last 8 did not reach 9 total runs. Five of the Padres’ last 7 have had at least 9 total runs while 4 of Snell’s last 6 starts have not surpassed 8 total runs.

BET UNDER 8 (-115).
