Guardians at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Angels 5, Guardians 3
Money line
The Cleveland offense has been much sharper against right-handed pitching; the Guardians own a .655 OPS against southpaws. Sandoval also gets more ground balls than McKenzie, and that could loom large on a batter’s-breeze night at Angel Stadium.
TAKE THE ANGELS (-160).

Run line/Against the spread
The Angels are a lean here, but less of one due to a potentially more fatigued back end of the bullpen. Consider a LOS ANGELES -1.5 (+130) play alongside the above. If mixing the 2 plays a 75%-25% allotment (money line-run line) is suggested.
Over/Under
PASS. The series overall figures to have an Under lean. But the price here is hefty.
