The Angels are 1-4 in their last 5 during game 3 of a series and 4-1 in their last 5 overall. The under is 4-0 in Red Sox last 4 overall. The under is 5-1 in Angels last 6 home games. The under is 7-1-1 in the last 9 meetings in Los Angeles and 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

Randy’s Pick

I'm not excited to lay juice with a struggling Tyler Anderson on the mound, but the Angels are quietly playing decent ball lately and the Red Sox can't score runs. The Red Sox have scored a combined 1 run in their last 32 innings. It's not great, folks. Also, James Paxton has just 11 innings under his belt this season, and it's not ideal working out any wrinkles against Ohtani and Trout. Give me the Angels and the cheap price.
