Los Angeles Angels vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

We’ve made a killing over the years blindly fading the Angels, a badly run franchise that doesn’t win games. However, let’s not act like the Reds are world beaters. Also, Soriano has been on a ridiculous tear, allowing 7 hits and 1 run through 20 innings while striking out 21. It’s just 20 innings, but you can argue Soriano has been the best starter in baseball through 3 starts. I doubt it lasts all season, but with a pick ’em price, I’m going to side with the Angels.
