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.

The Arizona Diamondbacks (49-34) and the Los Angeles Angels (44-40) play the middle contest of a 3-game interleague series Saturday at Angel Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:07 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Angels odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Diamondbacks lead 1-0 after Friday’s 6-2 victory in the series opener

The Diamondbacks, first place in the National League West, have won just 3 of the past 7 games overall, while cashing the Under in each of the past 3 outings.

Arizona’s offense has been on point this season, posting 5.13 runs per game (RPG) to rank 5th in the majors, according to covers.com. The D-Backs are 4th in the league in batting average (.263), while checking in 6th in OPS (.766).

The Angels plated just 2 runs in Friday’s series opener, as L.A. has dropped the past 3 games overall. The Halos haven’t dropped 4 in a row since Sept. 11-14, 2022.

Arizona has racked up a 13-8 record in interleague play, while Los Angeles slipped to 10-11 against the NL after Friday’s loss.

Diamondbacks at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Angels 3

Moneyline

The DIAMONDBACKS (+105) are worth a look at plus-money against the shaky southpaw Anderson and the Angels (-130).

Arizona has won 5 straight interleague road games, while going 8-3 in the past 11 tries against the AL. It is also 4-1 in the past 5 outings against a left-handed starting pitcher.

The Snakes have been stacking wins, too, cashing in 16 of the past 23 games following a victory.

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks +1.5 (-175) aren’t over my personal limit for as standalone bet, but this is still quite a bit of chalk to eat. If you like Arizona, just play it straight up and don’t fiddle around with all of this juice.

PASS.

Over/Under

The UNDER 9.5 (-115) might be the best play on the board.

The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games for the Diamondbacks, while going 4-1 in the past 5 against a left-handed starting pitcher, too. In addition, the Under is also 4-1 in the past 5 against winning teams, too.

For the Halos, the Under has hit in 8 of the past 11 games overall, while the total has gone low in 7 of the past 8 interleague tilts. The Under is also 3-0-2 in the past 5 against winning teams.
