Giants vs Angels Prediction - MLB Picks 8/7/23

The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Angels face off on Monday in an MLB showdown at Angel Stadium. 

Angels Wasted Trade Deadline

The Angels decided to not send Shohei Ohtani at the trade deadline, and it’s looking like a major mistake. It’s hard to imagine that the Angels are going to be able to keep him this offseason, and instead of getting something for him at the trade deadline, they decided to ride it out. It’s decisions like these that are going to continue to setback this team. The Angels have lost six games in a row including getting swept by the Seattle Mariners over the weekend. On Sunday the offense scored only two runs. The Angels offense is ranked 18th in baseball. On the mound for the Angels will be Patrick Sandoval who sits with a 6-8 record and an ERA of 4.11.
