Los Angeles Angels at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Angels (30-45) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (47-31) wrap up a short 2-game interleague series Saturday at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Angels lead 1-0

The Angels surprised the Dodgers in 10 innings Friday, winning 3-2 as +159 underdogs to snap a 10-game skid in the series. The Halos managed just 4 hits in the victory, while the staff held the Dodgers to 5 hits. Ironically, SP Patrick Sandoval was on the hill as he also started in the Angels’ last win in the Freeway Series back on Aug. 6, 2021.

The Angels have a winning record across the past 11 games, going 6-5, while the Under has cashed at a 3-0-1 pace in the previous 4 outings. They’re also 4-3 in the past 7 on the run line as an underdog, winning all 4 of those games outright.

The Dodgers have dropped 2 of the past 3 games as a favorite of -174 or greater. Occasionally, Los Angeles has an offensive power outage as it has scored 2 or fewer runs in 7 of the past 20 games. Still, the Dodgers are 3rd in the majors with 5.01 runs per game (RPG), while leading the league with a .776 OPS.

Angels at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Zach Plesac vs. RHP Tyler Glasnow

Plesac (1-0, 4.50 ERA) makes his 2nd start. He has a 1.00 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 1.5 K/9 in 6 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 3 ER, 4 H (2 HR), 2 BB, 1 K in 5-3 home victory vs. Milwaukee Brewers Monday
  • 2023 road splits (w/Guardians): 1-0, 12.54 ERA (9 1/3 IP, 13 ER), 2.57 WHIP, .449 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 2 HR, 2 BB, 3 K in 3 starts
  • Career vs. Dodgers: One 2022 road start with Guardians, no-decision, 1.50 ERA (6 IP, 1 ER), 5 H, 1 HR, 2 BB, 1 K in 10-inning Cleveland 2-1 win

Glasnow (7-5, 3.00 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 0.91 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 12.1 K/9 in 93 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 9 K in 3-0 home victory vs. Kansas City Royals Sunday
  • 2024 home splits: 5-3, 3.49 ERA (49 IP, 19 ER), 0.98 WHIP, .210 OBA, 5 HR, 9 BB, 60 K in 8 starts
  • Career vs. Angels: 1-1, 4.00 ERA (18 IP, 8 ER), 1.22 WHIP, 4 HR, 12.5 K/9 in 4 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Angels 3

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-400) will cost 4 times the potential return, which is way too much risk for not enough reward … on either a standalone bet or as part of a multi-leg parlay.

Over time, you cannot play such heavy favorites and expect to be ahead. It’s just a poor long-term betting strategy.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -1.5 (-175) are worth playing lightly on the run line, although the Angels have been doing a decent job as underdogs in the past 7-10 days. However, the Halos cannot be trusted with Plesac on the bump.

In fact, the best bet here might be to back the DODGERS -1.5 (-140) FIRST 5 INNINGS, as they should be able to jump all over the veteran Plesac, who is making his 1st road start for the Angels.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-110) is the play, as the high-octane Dodgers look to get back on track against a pitcher making just his 2nd start of the season. Plesac was atrocious on the road last season. Until he proves he has changed, you have to keep going against him as far as the total is concerned.

Be careful not to play this total too heavily, though, as the Dodgers have seen the Under cash at a 5-1 clip across the past 6 home games. However, the Over is 10-3 for the Angels across the previous 13 contests on the road.

Los Angeles Angels at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Angels (29-45) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (47-30) open a 3-game interleague series on Friday at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Dodgers won 4-0 in 2023

The Dodgers have won 10 consecutive meetings in this series, with the Angels last winning Aug. 6, 2021, in a game LHP Patrick Sandoval started. The Halos won 4-3 on the day as a moderate underdog (+195) as the Under (8) cashed. Starting opposite Sandoval was LHP David Price, so yeah, it’s been a while.

In the 10-game win streak, which includes a 4-game sweep last season by a combined 25-9 margin, the Dodgers have allowed 3 or fewer runs in 8 of the 10 outings. In the past 9 games, they have allowed 2 or fewer runs 7 times.

The Angels have dropped the past 2 games, and 3 of the past 4 outings, and they were shut out 2-0 against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday to wrap up that interleague series. Los Angeles is still a respectable 14-13 in interleague play.

The Dodgers have won 4 of the past 5 games, although they’re a mere 5-6 in the past 11 outings in front of the home fans since May 21. The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 outings, while the offense has averaged 7.8 runs per game (RPG) during the span.

Angels at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Patrick Sandoval vs. RHP Landon Knack

Sandoval (2-8, 5.24 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.50 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 9.3 K/9 in 77 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 3 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 4-3 road win vs. San Francisco Giants last Saturday
  • 2024 road splits: 2-2, 4.46 ERA (34 1/3 IP, 17 ER), 1.49 WHIP, .258 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 3 HR, 17 BB, 35 K in 7 starts
  • Career vs. Dodgers: 0-3, 5.40 ERA (21 2/3 IP, 13 ER), 1.66 WHIP, 7.5 K/9 in 4 starts and 1 relief appearance

Knack (1-1, 2.61 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 0.97 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 in 20 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 3-2 home win in 10 innings vs. Cincinnati Reds May 19
  • 2024 home splits: 0-1, 2.79 ERA (9 2/3 IP, 3 ER), 0.93 WHIP, .206 OBA, 1 HR, 2 BB, 9 K in 2 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Angels 4

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-185) are a little too expensive despite their dominance in this series. They’ve won 10 consecutive meetings in this series, and that was when Shohei Ohtani was playing for the Angels (+150). Now, he is on their side, too, playing his 1st game against his former mates.

Ohtani, by the way, enters this game with at least 1 RBI in 5 straight games, totaling 9 in the span.

While it looks good that the Dodgers will win an 11th straight in this series, Sandoval was the starting pitcher the last time the Angels won in this series on Aug. 6, 2021.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -1.5 (+110) are a better play in this interleague series opener on the run line, although there is obviously some risk. Backing Knack, who has just 4 career starts, comes with some risk. He hasn’t appeared in the majors in over a calendar month, too.

However, the Angels +1.5 (-135) are going through it, again, struggling to generate offense, and facing a Dodgers team with the best run differential in the NL (+108) won’t help.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-120) is a little on the pricey side, but a solid play in this battle.

The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games for the Dodgers, with the home team playing at least 5 runs in 4 consecutive outings. The pitching staff has been knocked around for 24 runs in the past 4 tries, too, although all of those games were played in the rarefied air of Coors Field.

While the Under is 3-1-1 in the past 5 games for the Angels, the Over is a healthy 9-3 across the past 12 outings on the road.

Los Angeles Angels at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Los Angeles Angels (45-45) will conclude a 2-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers (50-38) on Saturday at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 9:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 3-0

On Friday, the Angels were blown out 11-4 by the Dodgers. Los Angeles is on a 4-game losing streak and is now 7 1/2 games behind the Texas Rangers for 1st place in the AL West.

The Dodgers got home runs from OF Mookie Betts (2), 1B Freddie Freeman and OF J.D. Martinez in Friday’s 7-run victory. Los Angeles remains half a game back in the NL West race, with the Arizona Diamondbacks also winning on Friday.

The Dodgers are expected to have RHP Michael Grove pitch the bulk of Saturday’s game, whether it be as the starter or after an opener.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Reid Detmers vs. RHP Michael Grove

Detmers (2-5, 3.72 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.25 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 11.3 K/9 through 82 1/3 innings.

  • Last start vs. Dodgers: No-decision, 7 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 2-0 loss on June 20

Angels at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Angels 4

Moneyline

Even with the Angels having Detmers on the mound, the DODGERS (-145) have been the much better team recently. The Angels are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings overall, and they’ve lost 5 consecutive road meetings.

Run line/Against the spread

DODGERS -1.5 (+135) has fantastic value despite Grove pitching the majority of Saturday’s interleague contest. The Dodgers have won by multiple runs in each of the first 3 meetings this season.

Over/Under

OVER 9 (-110) is the lean in this matchup between the Los Angeles squads. The Angeles are 3-0-1 to the Over in their last 4 games overall.

On top of that, the Dodgers are 7-1-1 to the Over in their last 9 games against a left-handed starter.

The Angels lost 5-3 to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, giving them 3 consecutive losses. Los Angeles is 3-7 in its last 10 games and it will be without OF Mike Trout for at least a month.

The Dodgers defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on Thursday for their 2nd straight win. Los Angeles is now only half a game back of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West race.

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.

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

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.

Angels at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Angels 2

Money line

PASS on the money line. The Dodgers are one of the best teams in baseball and have one of their better pitchers on the mound. They are 18-10 at home and going against an Angels team that is playing worse than anyone in the majors. They are 2-17 in their last 19 games.

It doesn’t make sense to bet the Angels right now with how they are playing and the price isn’t worth the action to bet the Dodgers. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Angels have been keeping many of their losses close. Ten of their 17 losses in this 19-game stretch have been by only 1 run.

But when the Dodgers win, it is almost always by multiple runs as 34 of their 38 wins have been by at least 2 runs. All 7 of their wins when Anderson starts are by 2 or more runs.

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (+102).

Over/Under

Eleven of the Angels’ last 19 games have had 9 or more runs.

The Dodgers have had 5 of their last 7 games stay at 8 or fewer runs, and 5 of Anderson’s 9 starts have also had 8 or fewer runs.

Take UNDER 8.5 (-125).

Los Angeles Angels at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Los Angeles Angels (29-33) head up the freeway Tuesday for the 1st of  back-to-back games with the Los Angeles Dodgers (37-23) at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Angels vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The slumping Angels have won 2 of their last 4 games, but are just 4-16 straight up (SU) in the last 20 games. They’re 2-8 in the last 10 and are 3-2 since Joe Madden was fired as manager June 7.

Each team was 3-3 SU in last year’s season series, but the Dodgers have a plus-2 run differential in those meetings.

Angels at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Noah Syndergaard vs. RHP Tony Gonsolin  

Syndergaard is 4-4 with a 3.69 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 5.8 K/9 in 46 1/3 IP over 9 starts.

  • Last start: Lost 1-0 Monday at home vs. the Boston Red Sox with 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 BB and 3 K.

Angels at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Angels 2

Money line

RISK 1 unit on the DODGERS (-205) instead of betting to win 1 unit because they have a 3-phase edge over the Angels (+165) in starting and relief pitching and hitting.

Gonsolin is a shoo-in for this summer’s MLB All-Star Game and grades in the 90th percentile or better in expected ERA (xERA) and expected batting (xBA), wOBA (xwOBA) and slugging percentage (xSLG) slash line, per Statcast. Syndergaard is in the 37th percentile or worse in xERA, xBA-xwOBA-xSLG slash line.

Also, the Dodgers are 5-1 SU with a plus-2.5 margin of victory after a day of rest while the Angels are 2-5 SU with a minus-2.6 margin of victory.

If your standard unit is $100 then “flat-BET” that on the DODGERS (-205) to earn a $48.78 profit. Another betting option is to parlay the Dodgers’ ML with another similarly priced favorite such as the New York Yankees for a better payout.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN DODGERS -1.5 (+105) based on the previous analysis and because they are 6-5 RL in Gonsolin’s 11 starts and 5-1 RL when playing after a rest day.

Also, the Angels +1.5 (-130) are 2-5 RL when playing after a rest day and 4-8 RL as road underdogs.

My hesitation with the DODGERS -1.5 (+105) is there’s suspicious reverse line movement toward the Angels in both the RL and ML betting markets.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-107).

These teams have a combined 2-10-1 O/U when playing after a day of rest and 6-14 O/U with these starters get the nod. Also, sharp action has lowered the Angels-Dodgers total from a 9-run opener down to the current number, according to Pregame.com.

For the record, the UNDER 8.5 (-107) is my favorite bet in this game.

Los Angeles Angels at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Angels at Los Angeles Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Angels (55-54) meet the Los Angeles Dodgers (65-44) Friday to start a three-game “Freeway Series” at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET Let’s analyze the lines around the Angels vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Angels won three straight at the Texas Rangers Tuesday-Thursday by a combined score of 18-4 but have won just five of their last 10 games.

The Dodgers split a two-game interleague series against the Houston Astros this week and are 6-4 in their last 10 games.

Season series: Angels lead 2-1.

LHP Patrick Sandoval gets the nod for the Angels. Sandoval is 3-5 with a 3.88 ERA (77 1/3 IP, 29 ER), 1.15 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 10.1 K/9 in 12 starts and three relief appearances.

  • Last outing: Loss, 2-0, with 5 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 6 BB and 6 K July 30 against the Oakland Athletics.
  • vs. Dodgers on the current roster (38 PA): 8.82 FIP with a .250 batting average (BA), .393 wOBA, .499 expected slugging percentage (xSLG), 15.8 K% and 88.5 mph exit velocity (EV).

LHP David Price is on the mound for the Dodgers. Price is 4-1 with a 3.55 ERA (45 2/3 IP, 18 ER), 1.45 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in seven starts and 21 relief appearances.

  • Last start: Loss, 5-0, with 4 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 3 BB and 2 K at the San Francisco Giants July 29.
  • vs. Angels on the current roster (88 PA): 2.58 FIP with a .280 BA, .332 wOBA, .364 xSLG, 28.4 K% and 87.3 mph EV.

Prediction

Angels 5, Dodgers 3

Money line (ML)

Slight “LEAN” to the ANGELS (+180) for a tiny wager because I feel really good about their run line and see the value in sprinkling on the underdog’s money line.

The Angels’ batters have a higher wRC+, wOBA and OPS against left-handed pitching than the Dodgers. Also, I give the Angels the edge in the pitching matchup.

First of all, Sandoval’s pitching peripherals paint an even rosier picture than his basic numbers. Sandoval grades in the 77th percentile or better in hard-contact rate, chase rate, whiff rate, expected wOBA, xSLG and EV.

On top of that, the Dodgers’ bullpen figures to play a major role in the outcome of this game because Price is only averaging 1 2/3 IP per outing. This should be a concern for the Dodgers since their bullpen has mediocre advanced pitching splits and the second-most blown saves in the majors.

Furthermore, the Angels relievers are ranked ahead of the Dodgers in xFIP, WAR, home run per nine-inning rate and K-BB% following the All-Star Game.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Definitely BET the ANGELS +1.5 (-122) heavier than, or instead of, their money line. It’s just wiser to take the run-and-a-half worth of insurance even though I’m leaning to the Angels winning the “Freeway Series” opener outright.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 8.5 (-112) for a half unit because the presumed “sharp” money is on the Under whereas the “public” is backing the Over and Sandoval has been more effective on the road than at home this year.

For instance, at publication according to Pregame.com almost 60% of the cash wagered has been on the Under but more than three-fourths of the total bets are on the Over and it’s generally sharper to follow the money in sports betting rather than the crowd.

Also, Sandoval has a 3.21 ERA on the road (3.50 home ERA), 0.98 WHIP (1.28 home WHIP) and a 3.4 K/BB on the road (2.4 K/BB at home).

I’m expecting the Angels to get a quality start out of Sandoval Friday and the Dodgers’ pitching staff gets to face an Angels lineup that’s projected to be without Mike Trout, 3B Anthony Rendon and 1B Jared Walsh.
