Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Rams at Washington Nationals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Angels (51-66) and Washington Nationals (54-64) conclude a 3-game series Sunday. First pitch from Nationals Park is set for 11:35 a.m. ET (Roku). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Nationals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Nationals lead 2-0

The Angels dropped their 2nd straight heartbreaker in extra innings on Saturday, 5-4 to the Nationals after a 3-2 loss on Friday. Despite the loss, SS Zach Neto had a terrific afternoon going 3-for-4 with a HR. Los Angeles tries to avoid being swept for the 1st time since the All-Star break on Sunday.

Just hours after getting called up from the minors, 3B José Tena had the Nationals’ game-winning RBI single in the 10th inning on Saturday. LF James Wood parked his 4th HR since being called up on July 1. Washington looks to complete its 2nd sweep since the All-Star break.

Angels at Nationals projected starters

RHP Jack Kochanowicz vs. LHP MacKenzie Gore

Kochanowicz (0-2, 14.14 ERA) makes his 3rd career start. He has a 2.43 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 6.4 K/9 in 7 IP.

Last start: Loss, 4 IP, 7 ER, 7 H, 3 BB, 4 K in 8-2 loss at the Oakland A’s on July 20
The 23-year-old was called up from Double-A on Saturday

Gore (7-9, 4.66 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.53 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 9.9 K/9 in 116 IP.

Last start: Win, 5 IP, 5 R (4 ER), 8 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 11-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants Tuesday

Angels at Nationals picks and predictions

Prediction

Nationals 7, Angels 4

Moneyline

PASS.

I’m on the Nationals (-142) to complete the sweep on Sunday, but not at those odds. I’ll take my wager to the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET NATIONALS -1.5 (+142).

There is no doubt that Gore has struggled over his last 6 starts. Over that span, he’s 1-2 allowing at least 3 ER in each start. Despite that, he should do enough to get a victory on Sunday against Kochanowicz, who has been called up twice this season to make spot starts and has been awful in both. The Angels as a team has a 4.45 ERA on the road which is why they are 25-31 away from Los Angeles.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-128).

The trends tell a different story than my recommendation, but my gut is telling me there is going to be a lot of runs scored. The Angels actually hit lefties reasonably well, over .250 for the season as a team. While the Nationals may not be the most potent offense, they face an inexperienced arm who has allowed 5 and 7 runs in his 2 spot starts this season.

Los Angeles Angels at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Angels at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Angels (0-1) and Baltimore Orioles (1-0) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series Saturday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is slated for 4:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 1-0

The Angels got off to an auspicious start when CF Mike Trout took new Orioles ace RHP Corbin Burnes deep in the top of the 1st inning. It was all downhill from there for Los Angeles, losing 11-3 Thursday in Baltimore. They were held to 2 hits on the afternoon. The Angels are starting their season on a 6-game east coast road trip.

The Orioles won their season opener behind 11 strikeouts from Burnes. Baltimore got at least 1 hit from everyone who registered an at-bat except 3B Ramos Urias. Home runs from RF Anthony Santander and CF Cedric Mullins put the game out of reach for the Angels. The Orioles start the season with a 6-game homestand.

Angels at Orioles projected starters

RHP Griffin Canning vs. RHP Grayson Rodriguez

Canning (7-8, 4.32 ERA in 2023) makes his 1st start. He had a 1.48 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 9.9 K/9 in 127 innings.

2023 road stats: 3-3, 4.04 ERA (69 IP, 31 ER) in 12 starts and 1 relief appearance
Last start vs. Orioles: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 9 H, 2 BB, 4 K in 3-1 road loss May 17, 2023
Career vs. Orioles: 0-3, 11.05 ERA (14.1 IP, 18 ER) in 3 starts and 1 relief appearance

Rodriguez (7-4, 4.35 ERA in 2023) makes his 1st start. He had a 1.34 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 in 122 innings.

2023 home stats: 4-2, 4.59 ERA (64 2/3 IP, 33 ER) in 12 starts
Career vs. Angels: 1-1, 9.64 ERA (9 1/3 IP, 10 ER) in 2 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 7, Angels 2

Moneyline

PASS.

The Orioles (-165) will win game 2 against the Angels, but I’m not going to put down a little over 1½ units to win 1; it’s just not a smart bet. Save your money for the spread and/or the total.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ORIOLES -1.5 (+115).

I do not see a scenario where the Angels win this game. We saw on full display in Game 1 the stark difference in talent between these teams.

The luxury of having Burnes means that Rodriguez doesn’t have the pressure of carrying the rotation. Rodriguez was coming into his own at the end of the season; he didn’t allow more than 2 earned runs over his final 6 regular-season starts.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-110).

The Orioles would’ve gone over this total by themselves in the series opener. Canning has allowed over an earned run per inning against the Orioles in his career. Baltimore as a team hit .253 against right-handed pitching in 2023.

Los Angeles Angels at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Angels at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Angels and Baltimore Orioles face off on Opening Day Thursday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is slated for 3:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Orioles won 5-2 last season

There are very low expectations for the Angels in 2024. BetMGM Sportsbook has their Over/Under win total set at just 72.5 games. They won 73 games in 2023, and they lost their best player in the offseason to the Dodgers, DH/RHP Shohei Ohtani. Los Angeles is hoping to get a full healthy season from CF Mike Trout, which hasn’t happened since 2016. It’s going to be a long season for the Halos in 2024.

There are huge expectations for this Orioles squad that surprised everyone winning over 100 games and taking the AL East crown for the 1st time since 2014. They won’t surprise anyone this season but bring back all of their young talented core like C Adley Rutschman, 1B Ryan Mountcastle, 3B Gunnar Henderson, and LF Austin Hays. Baltimore also traded for 2021 NL Cy Young winner RHP Corbin Burnes to anchor its rotation. It’s World Series or bust for the Orioles in 2024.

Angels at Orioles projected starters

LHP Patrick Sandoval vs. RHP Corbin Burnes

Sandoval (7-13, 4.11 ERA in 2023) makes his 1st start. He had a 1.51 WHIP, 4.6 BB/9 and 8 K/9 in 144 2/3 innings.

2023 road stats: 5-7, 3.81 ERA (78 IP, 33 ER) in 16 starts
Last start vs. Orioles: Loss, 5 IP, 4 ER (7 R), 7 H, 4 BB, 3 K in 10-3 home loss Sept. 6, 2023
Career vs. Orioles: 0-2, 3.86 ERA (16 1/3 IP, 7 ER) in 3 starts

Burnes (10-8, 3.39 ERA in 2023) makes his 1st start. He had a 1.07 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 9.3 K/9 in 193 2/3 innings with the Milwaukee Brewers.

2023 home stats: 4-3, 4.28 ERA (80 IP, 38 ER), .223 OBA in 14 starts
Career vs. Angels: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 1 start, a 7-5 home victory with the Brewers April 29, 2023

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 4, Angels 1

Moneyline

PASS.

The Orioles (-185) will win on Opening Day against the Angels, but I’m not going to put down almost 2 units to win 1; it’s just not a smart bet. Save your money for the spread and/or the total.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ORIOLES -1.5 (+110).

It would be a real stunner if Baltimore dropped its home opener in front of a raucous crowd at Camden Yards. It has its newly-acquired ace taking the mound against what should be 1 of the worst lineups in the American League. I love this bet, and you should too.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-105).

These teams are wound tight on Opening Day, and it usually takes a bit for them to get warmed up. You’ve also got a top-tier pitcher on the mound for the Orioles against a sub-par lineup. Baltimore hit .259 against left-handed pitchers in 2023, and Sandoval is winless against the Orioles in his career.

Los Angeles Angels at Tampa Bay Rays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Angels at Tampa Bay Rays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Angels (68-83) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays (93-59) on Wednesday at Tropicana Field. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Rays odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Rays lead 3-1

The Angels lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 on Tuesday, suffering a 6th straight loss. Los Angeles is 3-7 in the last 10 games and has already been eliminated from playoff contention.

Rays OF Randy Arozarena hit his 23rd home run of the season in Tuesday’s victory. Tampa Bay is 7-3 in its last 10 games and is 2 1/2 games back of the Baltimore Orioles for 1st place in the AL East and owns the top AL Wild Card.

Angels at Rays projected starters

LHP Reid Detmers vs. RHP Aaron Civale

Detmers (3-10, 4.77 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 1.37 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 10.1 K/9 through 137 2/3 IP.

Last start: No decision, 7 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 0 BB, 7 K in 8-5 road win vs. Seattle Mariners Sept. 11
2023 road stats: 1-6, 5.40 ERA (60 IP, 36 ER) in 12 starts
Career vs. Rays: 1-0, 0.00 ERA (9 IP, 0 ER) across 1 start in 2022

Civale (7-3, 3.06 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.11 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.1 K/9 through 117 2/3 IP for the Rays and Cleveland Guardians.

Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 4-3 road win vs. Orioles Thursday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Rays picks and predictions

Prediction

Rays 6, Angels 3

Moneyline

With the Angels essentially throwing in the towel this season, the Rays (-225) should win with ease on Wednesday. That being said, I’d PASS on the moneyline at the current odds.

Run line/Against the spread

RAYS -1.5 (-110) is how I’d wager on the run line with Tampa Bay looking to close the gap in the AL East. The Rays have won by at least 2 runs in each of their 3 wins over the Angels this season.

Over/Under

OVER 8 (-105) is the pick in this game with Detmers struggling and even Civale has been giving up runs recently. The Rays have outscored the Angels 39-19 in the first 4 meetings this season.

The Over is 3-1 in the first 4 meetings this season and is 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings overall.

The Los Angeles Angels (64-70) open a 3-game series against the Oakland Athletics (39-95) on Friday at Oakland Coliseum. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Athletics odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Angels lead 5-2

The Angels secured a 10-8 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday to end a 3-game losing skid. Los Angeles is 3-7 in its last 10 games and is in 4th place in the AL West and 11 1/2 games back of an AL Wild Card.

The Athletics lost 5-4 to the Seattle Mariners Wednesday, giving them losses in 4 of their last 5 games. Oakland has tallied a 5-5 record in its last 10 contests but has been eliminated from postseason play.

Angels at Athletics projected starters

LHP Patrick Sandoval vs. LHP JP Sears

Sandoval (7-10, 3.95 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.43 WHIP, 4.3 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 through 123 IP.

Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 4 BB, 7 K in 3-1 road win vs. New York Mets last Friday
2023 road stats: 5-5, 3.50 ERA (64 1/3 IP, 25 ER) across 13 starts

Angels at Athletics picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, Athletics 3

Moneyline

I’ll side with the ANGELS (-150) on the road in Friday’s divisional matchup with both of these teams struggling. Los Angeles has won 5 of the 7 meetings this season and Sandoval has pitched better in recent starts.

Run line/Against the spread

ANGELS -1.5 (+110) is how I’d wager on the run line with Sears’ home woes this season. The Angels have defeated the Athletics by at least 2 runs in 4 of its 5 wins against them this year.

Over/Under

UNDER 8 (-105) is the lean as Sandoval should limit the Athletics and the Angels aren’t lighting it up recently. Sandoval has given up 2 or fewer runs in 4 of his last 5 starts, while the Athletics have produced 4 or fewer runs in 5 straight contests.

The Under is also 4-2 in the last 6 meetings in Oakland.

The Angels lost 7-3 to the Rangers Tuesday despite OF Randall Grichuk hitting a 2-run homer in the 9th inning. Los Angeles has lost 7 of its last 10 games and has fallen to 4th place in the AL West, 13 1/2 games back of the division-leading Rangers.

The Rangers got a 2-homer performance from SS Corey Seager in Tuesday’s 4-run victory over the Angels. Texas is 8-2 in its last 10 contests and is 3 1/2 games ahead of the Houston Astros atop the division.

Mariners at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 4, Angels 3

Moneyline

Given how these teams have performed recently, I’ll side with the MARINERS (+100) on the road in Sunday’s series finale. Seattle has won 4 of the last 5 meetings this season and enters as winners of 4 straight.

The Mariners have also won 12 of their last 16 road games.

Run line/Against the spread

Sunday’s finale should be a tight game, but taking the Mariners +1.5 (-185) with a run of insurance isn’t worth the risk at the current odds. With that in mind, just AVOID wagering on the spread in this divisional contest.

Over/Under

UNDER 9.5 (-105) is the play in this game as Miller looks to bounce back from his last start. The Mariners have hit the Under in 11 of their last 15 road games, while the Angels are 23-15 to the Under in their last 38 home games.

The Yankees lost 5-1 to the Angels on Tuesday, giving them 3 consecutive losses. New York is 2-8 in its last 10 games and now sits in last place in the AL East, 9 games out of 1st place.

Yankees at Angels projected starters

LHP Carlos Rodon vs. RHP Chase Silseth

Rodon (0-2, 5.23 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 in 10 1/3 innings.

Has walked 2 batters in each of his 1st 2 starts after rehabbing from shoulder surgery
Went from throwing 69 pitches to 88 pitches from his 1st to 2nd start, so he could be primed for 90-plus pitches on Wednesday

Silseth (1-1, 5.30 ERA) makes his 10th appearamces and 2nd start. He has a 1.61 WHIP, 6.3 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 in 18 2/3 innings.

Moneyline (ML): Yankees -140 (bet $140 to win $100) | Angels +115 (bet $100 to win $115)

Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Yankees at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Angels 3

Moneyline

The YANKEES (-140) are the play despite their recent woes. Rodon is making his 3rd start of the season and the Angels have a league-worst 31.5% strikeout rate against left-handed pitchers in 108 plate appearances since the start of July.

Run line/Against the spread

ANGELS +1.5 (-150) is how I’d wager on the run line with the expectation of a low-scoring contest. Los Angeles has covered the run line in 4 of its last 6 games at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-110) is the lean despite it being a lower total. The Yankees are struggling to generate runs with OF Aaron Judge sidelined, and the Angels are without OF Mike Trout against a southpaw.

The Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings overall, including 4-1 in the first 5 meetings this season.
