Los Angeles Angels vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
The Angels continue to have a rough week where they can’t buy a win and I doubt things change with Kochanowicz on the mound. Kochanowicz has a 5.07 ERA and 1.52 WHIP on the season, and he has a 5.63 ERA and .285 allowed batting average in 32 road innings. Williams has been hittable this season as well, but he is coming off a decent May where he allowed 21 hits and nine runs in 24.2 innings. I just don’t have confidence in the Angels and their pitching matchup isn’t attractive. Give me the Guardians and the somewhat reasonable price.
