Angels at Guardians picks and predictions
Prediction
Angels 5, Guardians 4
Money line
Peg Cleveland as being buoyed by a fortunate 24-16 mark in 1-run games. Los Angeles has been hurt by its 1-run mark of 14-25.
The lefty Sandoval cuts into a Guardians blind spot, and the Cleveland bullpen is in need of a day off.
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
Fading both starters and noting a fatigued Cleveland bullpen. The Angels own a .788 OPS over their last 8 road games.
TAKE THE OVER 7.5 (-130).
