Detroit Tigers vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction

Congrats to the Angels for winning a game, but it’s not enough for me to stop fading them. The Angels have lost 14 of their last 18 games, and they haven’t won back-to-back games since April 6-8. Kochanowicz doesn’t provide confidence with him, allowing 31 hits and 17 earned runs in his last 26.1 innings. During that span, Kochanowicz has 12 walks to go with 15 strikeouts. The Tigers continue to hit the ball well, and Olson has allowed 10 hits and three runs in his last 18 innings. I’ll keep betting against the Angels, and this is another favorable spot. Of course, I’ll also lay the RL to shave down the price.
