Los Angeles Angels vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

I’m backing the Angels in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game as Rodriguez has been one of the Diamondbacks’ more successful options as a starter this year, but the Angels are playing the better baseball right now and it’s just hard to hop off when we’re getting these kinds of prices with them. Give me the Angels.
