Angels at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 5, Angels 3
Moneyline
Even though the Dodgers should come away with the win at home, I’ll PASS on their moneyline at the current odds (-175).
Run line/Against the spread
DODGERS -1.5 (+110) has great value with the Angels struggling in recent games and not having Trout in the lineup. Canning is also allowing a 46% hard-hit rate, which could lead to the Dodgers winning by multiple runs at home.

Over/Under
UNDER 9 (-115) is how I’d play the run total despite Gonsolin’s recent woes. The Angels are 7-0 to the Under in their last 7 interleague games against a team with a winning record. Also, the Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
