Angels vs. Phillies prediction and pick
If you think I'm going to stop betting on the Phillies, you'd be absolutely wrong. In fact, I'm going to bet on them to win on the run line as well, meaning they'll need to win by at least two runs.
Today's game will be a battle of lefties as Reid Detmers (5.03 ERA) of the Angels will face-off against Christopher Sanchez (3.33 ERA) of the Phillies.
Detmers has been terrible this month, sporting a 8.68 ERA across four starts. Things won't get easier for him tonight as he takes on a Phillies offense that's fourth in OPS (.864) against left-handed pitchers dating back to the All-Star break.
Let's also consider the Angels have completely thrown in the towel on the season. Yesterday, they waived a handful of players in an unprecedented move. The vibes can't be high in Los Angeles right now.
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Angels have placed starter Lucas Giolito, relievers Matt Moore and Reynaldo López, and outfielders Hunter Renfroe and Randal Grichuk on waivers, sources tell ESPN. Huge potential playoff implications: All can be claimed by teams for free on Thursday.
