Los Angeles Angels vs. Atlanta Braves Prediction

I’m on the Angels in this one. I get the case to be made for the Braves at home as this is where they’ve played their best this season. The thing here is that Didier Fuentes hasn’t looked good and the Braves haven’t been good against lefties lately either. The Angels have a solid offense that’s getting healthy, and the Angels sending out Tyler Anderson, who has been one of their best this season should be able to get the value here. Give me the Angels in this one.
