Detroit Tigers vs LA Angels Prediction 

The Tigers come into this game on a three game losing streak and their offense has been pathetic over the last few weeks. Detroit is 18-23 on the road, while LA is 17-25 at home. The Angels have a pretty bad record, but they have won five games in a row and their offense is hot. I do think Detroit has the advantage on the mound, as Olson seems to be back on track, but how do we trust their offense? I do think this is a spot for the Tigers to bounce back against Canning and I really like how Olson has looked this season. My Detroit Tigers vs LA Angels prediction is for the Tigers to win.
