Los Angeles is 24-50 in their last 74 games and 4-1 in their last 5 road games. The over is 4-1-2 in Los Angeles’ last 7 Friday games. Detroit is 9-28 in their last 37 games and 0-4 in their last 4 home games. The under is 12-3-3 in Detroit’s last 18 game one’s of a series. Los Angeles is 40-16 in these two teams last 56 head to head meetings.
Both of these teams have had their struggles this season and are out of playoff contention. Los Angeles has absolutely owned the Tigers in their last 56 meetings, winning 40 of those games. Los Angeles is starting Patrick Sandoval, who has allowed four runs over his last 16 innings pitched. For the Tigers, Matt Manning has allowed seven runs over his last 17 innings. It sounds like Mike Trout will be making his return to the lineup for this game as well. I like the Angels here.
