Angels vs Phillies Prediction 

Philadelphia had some issues with their pitching in the middle innings on Friday night, and they have struggled over their last seven games. The Phillies are 30-17 at home this year, while the Angels are 24-26 on the road. Los Angeles is competing in the AL West, and they are just one game below .500. The Angels are starting Kikuchi, who has allowed seven earned runs and 12 hits over his last 10.2 innings. The Phillies are going with Walker, who has allowed a total of two earned runs over his last 9.2 innings. I don’t love their recent form, but I like Philadelphia at home here.
