Los Angeles Angels vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

Another Angels game, another chance to fade them. The Angels are a mess and have been for over a decade. Johnson and his 7.63 ERA and 1.59 WHIP don’t change anything. Young is far more trustworthy with a 3.31 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, and the Orioles need to keep taking advantage of games like this to stay in the playoff race. There’s only one way to go in this spot. Continue to fade the Angels. Give me the Orioles.
