Diamondbacks at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 3, Angels 2
Moneyline
LEAN DIAMONDBACKS (-120).
The Diamondbacks are a very good road team and are considerably hotter than the Angels right now, giving them the edge. But the Angels are a talented team and will look to avoid being swept at home.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I like the Angels to cover here, but at +1.5 (-165) the line is a little risky and not worth the juice.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 8.5 (+100).
The Under is 4-0 in Arizona’s last 4 games overall and 4-0 in their last 4 game 3s of a series. For Los Angeles the Under is 3-0-1 in Detmers’ last 4 starts during game 3 of a series. The Under is also 6-0 in the Angels’ last 6 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record, and 4-0 in their last 4 games after scoring 2 runs or less in the previous game.
The Under has also hit in both games of this series.
