Marlins at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Angels 3 Marlins 2
Moneyline
The Angels should be able to avoid getting swept vs. the inconsistent Marlins. Los Angeles is 16-6 in its last 22 home games vs. right-handed starters and should be able to have success vs. a young pitcher in Pérez. The Marlins have not won 3 straight games as underdogs this season and are 2-6 in their last 8 vs. left-handed starters.
BET ANGELS (-135).
Run line/Against the spread
The Marlins last 2 losses have both been by just 1 run. Miami +1.5 (-175) should hit but there is no need to pay the higher price on the run line when Angels moneyline is the better play. Bet Los Angeles moneyline and/or the total instead.
PASS.
Over/Under
The Under is 5-2 in Miami’s last 7 games after scoring 5 or more runs and 5-2 in its last 7 vs. left-handed starters.
The Under has hit in 5 of Los Angeles’ last 7 games and should cash again Sunday as Miami’s offense comes back down to Earth after scoring 4 runs in the 10th inning Saturday.
BET UNDER 8.5 (+100).
