Angels at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 5, Angels 3

Moneyline

Better value can be had on the run line. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Tigers are 4-1 over their last 5 series finales.

The recent Detroit offense is likely nothing to buy into in any significant way, but in a day game after a delayed-start night game (near-2-hour delay before Wednesday’s contest) and with the Halos closing out a 10-game road swing, look for the home team to have lots of edge here.

The Tiger bullpen is also in a better state of availability.

BACK THE TIGERS -1.5 (+128).

Over/Under

The total has gone Under in 5 of the Angels’ last 7 games and in 7 straight Tigers contests.

This matchup is a bit of a no-name mound test between rookies. Peg both as being maybe just so-so but better than what shows in surface stats. The Los Angeles offense is languishing.

The Under prevailed in the 1st two games of this series and is 5-2 across the last 7 series meetings and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings at Comerica Park.

BetMGM Sportsbook offers more value for this play. TAKE THE UNDER 9 (-105).

Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Angels (54-77) and Detroit Tigers (66-66) meet for the opener of a 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Comerica Park is set for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Los Angeles leads 3-1

Los Angeles was routed 8-2 by the Toronto Blue Jays Sunday as a +142 road underdog. The Angels have lost 5 straight and are just 1-6 on their current 10-game road trip.

Detroit picked up a 6-3 win over the Chicago White Sox Monday as a -126 road favorite. After trailing 2-0, the Tigers scored 6 unanswered runs through the 5th and 7th innings. Detroit has won 4 consecutive games.

Angels at Tigers projected starters

RHP Johnny Cueto vs. LHP Brant Hurter

Cueto (0-1, 4.26 ERA) makes his 2nd start. He allowed 3 earned runs on 8 hits and 2 walks with 1 K in 6 1/3 IP in his season debut, a 3-0 loss at the Kansas City Royals Wednesday.

  • 2023 stats: 1-4, 6.02 ERA (52 1/3 IP, 35 ER), 1.26 WHIP, 6.7 K/9 in 13 appearances (10 starts)
  • Career vs. Detroit: 2-3, 2.79 ERA (48 1/3 IP, 15 ER), 0.91 WHIP, 5.6 K/9 across 7 starts, including 0-1 with 6.00 ERA (6 IP, 4 ER) in 1 start last year

Hurter (1-1, 3.57 ERA) makes his 1st start and 5th appearance. The rookie has a 0.79 WHIP, 0.5 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 17 2/3 innings.

  • Moneyline (ML): Angels +130 (bet $100 to win $130) | Tigers -155 (bet $155 to win $100)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 7, Angels 6

Moneyline

LEAN TIGERS (-155).

Detroit has won 4 consecutive games and is 7-3 in its last 10, while the Angels are just 2-8 in their last 10 and have dropped 5 straight.

This is a lean because the Angels have won 8 of the last 13 meetings between these teams.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I like the Angels to cover here as +1.5 (-165) underdogs, especially as they are 6-4 in the last 10 meetings overall and 3-0 in the last 3 in Detroit. However, they’re a bit too expensive to risk betting on, so bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 9.5 (-105).

The Over has hit in 2 of Detroit’s last 3 games and is 4-1-1 in its last 6. For L.A., the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 outings.

The Over is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings overall, including 2-0 in the last 2, and 2-1 in the last 3 in Detroit.

Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers Game 2 odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Angels (52-49) and Detroit Tigers (46-55) were rained out on Wednesday, so they’ll play a doubleheader at Comerica Park on Thursday. First pitch in Game 2 is set for 4:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Note: The numbers below do not include stats from Game 1.

Season series: Angels lead 1-0 after winning 7-6 on Tuesday

The Angels have played well since the All-Star break, going 7-3 in their last 10 games, including wins in 6 of their last 7. After deciding not to trade star  Shohei Ohtani, they have become buyers before the trade deadline. Los Angeles is 8 games back of the 1st-place Texas Rangers in the AL West and  4 games back in the Wild-Card race.

The Tigers are 7-5 since the All-Star break and are 6 1/2 games back of the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central. The offense has been ice cold all season, ranking 28th in runs scored (397) up to this point.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Tigers projected starters

LHP Patrick Sandoval vs. RHP Matt Manning

Sandoval (5-7, 4.16 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 in 93 innings.

  • Has been sharp in his last 2 starts, allowing 1 ER each time out with a total of just 4 hits surrendered
  • Angels are just 2-8 in his last 10 starts

Manning (3-1, 3.19 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.01 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 in 36 2/3 innings.

  • Has allowed only 1 ER in his last 14 1/3 IPT (3 starts)
  • Has pitched at least 5 innings and given up 2 ER or fewer in 5 of his 7 starts

Angels at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, Tigers 4

Moneyline

The Tigers have been treading water as of late, but the Angels are starting to look like a legitimate team, even without OF Mike Trout. They’ve won 7 of their last 10 and now get Sandoval on the mound, who’s pitched really well in his last 2 starts.

He’s also facing an underwhelming Tigers lineup that’s struggled to plate runs all season, so that should bode well for the Angels’ starter. BET ANGELS (-120) to win outright on the road.

Run line/Against the spread

In their last 7 wins, the Angels have beaten their opponents by at least 2 runs 5 times. However, they’re still just 48-53 ATS this season, which is the 7th-worst record in baseball. The Tigers, on the other hand, are 53-48 ATS, good for 8th-best.

Detroit may be able to keep this game close, as it did on Tuesday in the series opener. PASS on the run line.

Over/Under

The total went over in their 1st meeting of the season, a 7-6 win by the Angels on Tuesday. As well as Sandoval has pitched in his last 2 starts, he’s been up and down this season. The same goes for Manning, who doesn’t often pitch deep into games.

LEAN OVER 9 (+100), but tread lightly as it will be close.

Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (61-61) and Detroit Tigers (58-64) wrap up a three-game series with a Thursday matinee at Comerica Park. First pitch is at 1:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Angels vs. Tigers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Jose Quintana is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels. Quintana has made nine starts and 13 relief appearances in 2021 and is 0-3 with a 6.12 ERA, 1.70 WHIP, 12.6 K/9 and 5.2 BB/9 through 50 IP.

  • Logged a 7.22 ERA across nine starts before going down with an injury in late May. Has been used only in relief since returning.
  • Has posted a 3.86 ERA and a 20:3 K:BB as a reliever. Last pitched Sunday and has thrown only 42 pitches across 4 appearances this month.
  • Owns an 8.66 ERA and 2.04 WHIP through 17 1/3 road innings.

RHP Matt Manning is the projected starter for the Tigers. He is 3-5 with a 6.10 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 4.6 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 through 48 2/3 IP spanning 10 starts.

  • Despite the soft schedule of facing the Baltimore Orioles twice and Cleveland Indians once, he owns a 6.32 ERA and 1.72 WHIP over his last three starts. The pitch-to-contact hurler has allowed 25 hits over his last 15 2/3 IP.

Prediction

Angels 6, Tigers 3

Money line (ML)

The Angels are looking for the sweep after taking the first two games in the Motor City. Los Angeles is 14-12 over its last 26 games and that’s against a tough schedule.

Detroit lost four of its last five games and has allowed 33 runs along the way. The Tigers were swinging hot bats for the first couple weeks of the second half, but they’ve managed a mere .659 OPS since July 30.

Quintana has been picked apart by a .381 batting average on balls in play. He and the Angels would be more of a lean if the veteran southpaw was stretched out a bit more, as he hasn’t thrown more than 21 pitches in a game since July 29.

So, peg him has an “opener-plus” — maybe he goes a couple of innings, but more could be in the cards if those early frames go quickly. Behind him is a well-rested Angels bullpen. The lean isn’t full-throttle, but it’s a lean nonetheless.

BACK LOS ANGELES (-125).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

In principle, the lean on the Angels is even more razor-thin here but the price isn’t bad.

TAKE THE ANGELS -1.5 (+130). Consider a hedged play, taking the visiting nine in partial does on both the money and run lines.

Over/Under (O/U)

Starters, bullpens, offenses, recent trends, marginal analytic “luck” — everything swings both ways in looking at this one. HARD PASS.

Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (60-61) and Detroit Tigers (58-63) play the middle game of a three-game series Wednesday. First pitch is 7:10 p.m. ET at Comerica Park. Let’s analyze the lines around the Angels vs. Tigers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Shohei Ohtani is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels. Ohtani is 7-1 with a 2.93 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 11.0 K/9, and 3.8 BB/9 in 92 IP across 17 starts.

  • Picked up a win against Detroit with 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 BB and 5K June 17 in Anaheim, Calif.
  • Has made just five starts since July but has made the most of those outings going 4-0 with a 1.69 ERA and 0.75 WHIP.

LHP Tarik Skubal is the projected starter for the Tigers. He is 8-10 with a 4.10 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 9.8 K/9, and 3.2 BB/9 in 116 1/3 IP over 21 starts and two relief appearances.

  • Has pitched 11 scoreless innings with 10 H, 2 BB and 10 K over his last two starts.
  • Owns a 3.48 ERA in 72 1/3 IP in 12 starts and two relief appearances at home this season.
  • Posted a 4.3 BB/9 over his first 60 IP this season but owns a fine 1.9 BB/9 in 56 1/3 IP since.

Prediction

Angels 6, Tigers 4

Money line (ML)

The Angels won Tuesday’s series opener 8-2, and despite playing a slew of over-.500 teams along the way they’re a respectable 12-10 over their last 22 road games. It has been the pitching staff getting things done for the Halos as they own a 3.83 team ERA since July 3 and the bullpen owns a 3.36 ERA in August.

Detroit has lost three of its last four games and has allowed 30 runs in the process. The Tigers were swinging hot bats for the first couple weeks of the second half, but they’ve managed just a .668 OPS since July 30.

With Ohtani on the bump and a platoon advantage on both sides the Halos are the “lean”. Consider a bit of patience or perhaps a PASS, though. Going past -130 eats up too much value.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Los Angeles took three of four games with an average margin of victory of 5 runs when these two clubs met June 17-20.

Going into this series Detroit owned a .694 OPS against right-handers and Los Angeles had a .746 mark against southpaws. On a humid, breeze-out-to-right evening the ground-balling Ohtani gets a bump in his edge. So do the bettors siding with L.A.

TAKE THE ANGELS -1.5 (+125).

Over/Under (O/U)

Both bullpens have been hot of late but have some expected-ERA baggage that tells a different story. However, some analytics lean the other way when looking at what these two offenses have done – both are a tad inflated in the run-scoring department – and that can net opportunities in shading the Under.

Consider a partial-unit play on the OVER 8.5 (-108).

Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (59-61) and Detroit Tigers (58-62) open a three-game series at Comerica Park Tuesday. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. ET.  Let’s analyze the lines around the Angels vs. Tigers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Angels RHP Dylan Bundy (2-9, 6.17 ERA) makes his 22nd appearance of the season (18th start). He has a 1.35 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 through 84 2/3 IP.

  • Bundy has made three starts since rejoining the rotation July 29 and has put up a 3.68 ERA during that time. However, the brief run of success has come with a mediocre 10/6 K/BB across 14 2/3 IP, and he has received help from a .171 BABIP.
  • Bundy has a 5.57 ERA, 8.6 K/9 and 1.7 HR/9 across 42 IP on the road this season.

Tigers RHP Casey Mize (6-6, 3.66 ERA) makes his 23rd start of the year. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 through 120 1/3 IP.

  • Mize has had a pretty solid season other than his issues with the long ball. His 1.6 HR/9 is the fourth-highest among qualified starting pitchers, and he served up 3 homers in each of his last two starts.
  • Has recorded a 3.55 ERA, 6.8 K/9 and 1.2 HR/9 across 50 2/3 IP through 10 home starts.

Prediction

Tigers 6, Angels 4

Money line (ML)

The Angels are 6-11 through Bundy’s 17 starts this season, and the improved results he has seen lately haven’t come with skills to back it up.

The Tigers are 12-5 at home since the All-Star break and their offense should be able to give Mize enough support to come out on top. Take the TIGERS (-140).

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Detroit bats are in a pretty good spot against Bundy, whose velocity in his last start was the lowest it’s been all year. Mize hasn’t been pitching great or very deep into games of late, but he has a decent matchup in this one.

The Angels come into this game tied for 26th in road home runs and they’re 23rd in road OPS. A small play on TIGERS -1.5 (+140) is worth a shot, as there is a decent chance Bundy gets blown up again.

Over/Under (O/U)

On one hand, we have a matchup between Bundy, who has been getting knocked around all year, and Mize, who has been very homer-prone himself.

However, the Angels are 22nd in runs per game on the road (4.02) while the Tigers are 23rd in the category at home (4.17). The under has hit in 14 of the last 17 road games the Angels have played, and this one could easily go either way. It’s probably best to simply PASS on the total.
