Angels at Astros picks and predictions

Prediction

Astros 5, Angels 3

Moneyline

Even though I have the Astros securing the win at home in Saturday’s divisional matchup, I’ll PASS on the moneyline in this game at -185.

Run line/Against the spread

ASTROS -1.5 (+110) has decent value with Javier hitting his stride in recent starts. Sandoval also isn’t producing many swings and misses, while Houston has 5 potential players with a barrel rate of 8% or higher.

The Astros have won 4 straight meetings, and they’ve won by 2-plus runs in 3 of those contests.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-110).

Javier has given up 1 or fewer earned runs in 3 consecutive starts, and the Astros have the 18th-best wOBA (.317) and wRC+ (102) against left-handed pitching this season. The Under is also 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings overall.

Angels at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, White Sox 4

Moneyline

I’ll back the ANGELS (+120) on the road in Monday’s showdown despite that they have lost 3 straight games. The White Sox are 12-13 at home this season and it’s tough to predict what version of Kopech we’ll get.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Unless you can get the Angels +1.5 at -160 odds or better, then it’s not worth wagering on the run line in this contest.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-120).

With both pitchers being susceptible to giving up multiple runs, the Over is an enticing wager in this game. The White Sox are 4-0 to the Over in their last 4 games overall.

Red Sox at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 6, Red Sox 5

Moneyline

With both teams playing average baseball recently, I’ll back the ANGELS (-115) at home in Monday’s series opener. Houck has failed to limit runs and the Angels have the bats to do damage.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Even though the Angels are slight favorites to win, the Red Sox are the team that is favored by -1.5 runs. Considering that I have Los Angeles securing the victory at home, I’ll pass on the -185 run line in this contest.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 9.5 (-110) is an enticing wager with Houck taking the mound for the Red Sox. Houck continues to give up multiple runs in each of his starts and Barria is making his 1st start of the season.

Both teams are also top 12 in wRC+ against right-handed pitching.

Astros at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Astros 5, Angels 3

Moneyline

The ASTROS (-125) have a massive pitching advantage with Javier on the mound even though Canning has gone 2-0 in his first 4 starts. Houston is 14-6 in the last 20 meetings in Los Angeles and 57-27 in the last 84 meetings overall.

Run line/Against the spread

ASTROS -1.5 (+125) is how I’d wager on the run line with Javier pitching for Houston. The Astros should also have success against Canning in Wednesday’s AL West bout as he’s coming off a start where he surrendered 5 earned runs to the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 9.5 (-110) is the lean in this game with Javier having success against the Angels in his career. The Astros are 6-4 to the Under in their last 10 games overall.

Astros at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 3, Astros 2

Moneyline

With both teams having talented pitchers on the mound, I’ll back the ANGELS (-140) at home with Ohtani pitching.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I don’t expect either of these teams to blow out the other with Valdez and Ohtani on the bump. The Astros +1.5 (-175) should be able to keep the game within a run, but taking their run line isn’t advised at the current odds.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-110) is the pick in this AL West bout on Tuesday. I expect a pitching duel between Valdez and Ohtani, so runs should be tough for both teams to produce.

The Astros have had 7 or fewer combined runs scored in 6 of their last 10 games.

Astros at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Astros 4, Angels 3

Moneyline

I’ll back the ASTROS (-125) on the road in Monday’s AL West showdown despite their recent struggles. Houston is 41-20 in the last 61 meetings in Los Angeles and 56-26 in the last 82 meetings overall with L.A.

Run line/Against the spread

ANGELS +1.5 (-160) is how I’d play the run line despite the odds being somewhat juiced. Both pitchers in this contest have been solid this season and I believe Los Angeles keeps this game within a run.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (+100) has solid value considering how Brown and Sandoval have been pitching this season. Even though Sandoval has sputtered against the Astros in his career, Houston has scored 5 or more runs in only 3 of its last 10 games.

Angels at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, Cardinals 2

Moneyline

BET ANGELS (-145).

Ohtani is on the mound for the Angels and the Cardinals have a struggling Mikolas on the bump. St. Louis is only 5-9 at home this season compared to Los Angeles being 8-9 on the road.

Run line/Against the spread

ANGELS -1.5 (+115) is a nice value at plus money, especially with Ohtani pitching. Ohtani has allowed multiple ER in only 1 start this season while Mikolas has only 1 start where he hasn’t given up multiple ER.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (+100) is the lean in this matchup as it’ll likely take plenty of runs from the Angels to hit the Over. The Under is 6-0-1 in Ohtani’s last 7 road starts against a team with a losing record and the Cardinals are 6-2 to the Under in their last 8 games.

Angels at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Angels 4

Moneyline

While Suarez and Rea have both struggled this season, I’ll back the BREWERS (-125) at home on Sunday. Milwaukee is 9-5 at home this season compared to Los Angeles being 6-9 on the road.

Run line/Against the spread

BREWERS -1.5 (+145) is the pick in this matchup despite Milwaukee struggling against LHP this season. The Angels have lost by multiple runs in all but 1 of Suarez’s 4 starts thus far.

Over/Under

BET OVER 9.5 (+100).

Both of the pitchers taking the mound Sunday have given up multiple ER in the majority of their starts and that will likely be the case again. On top of that, the Angels and the Brewers have both scored 5-plus runs in 6 of their last 10 games.

The Over is 4-1-2 in the last 7 meetings in Milwaukee.

Los Angeles Angels at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Angels at Milwaukee Brewers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Angels (14-12) begin a 3-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers (16-9) on Friday at American Family Field. First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting of 2023. This will be the first meeting between these teams since the 2019 season when the Angels swept a 3-game set.

The Angels defeated the Oakland Athletics 8-7 Thursday to increase their win streak to 3 games. RHP Shohei Ohtani was an HR away from becoming the 1st player in baseball history to hit for the cycle in a game in which they were the starting pitcher.

The Brewers snapped a 3-game losing skid when they beat the Detroit Tigers 6-2 Wednesday. Milwaukee has won 6 of its last 10 games despite its recent struggles.

Angels at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Angels 3

Moneyline

While the Angels have performed well against LHP this season, I’ll take the BREWERS (-140) at home. Miley has pitched well to begin his 2nd stint with Milwaukee and Anderson is struggling for Los Angeles.

Run line/Against the spread

BREWERS -1.5 (+140) has solid value despite Milwaukee being below average against southpaws this season. Anderson is currently allowing a .423 wOBA and a 36.6% hard-hit percentage while posting a career-worst 12% strikeout percentage.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-105) is the pick in this game with how Miley has excelled to begin the season. The Brewers should score a decent number of runs on Anderson in this matchup, but there have been 9 or fewer runs scored in each of Miley’s starts thus far.

Angels at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Angels 3

Moneyline

PASS.

Unless you can get the Yankees at -160 or better in this matchup, then I’d refrain from wagering on the money line.

Run line/Against the spread

ANGELS +1.5 (-140) is the pick in this contest with both teams having talented pitchers on the mound. The Angels should be able to keep this game close with the Yankees boasting a league-worst .186 batting average against southpaws this season.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

With Sandoval and Cortes on the bump for Thursday’s showdown, UNDER 8.5 (-115) is an enticing bet. There haven’t been more than 7 runs scored in either of the 1st 2 games of this series.

The Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in New York and 6-1 in the last 7 meetings overall.
