Los Angeles Angels vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Kikuchi has been respectable this season, but he’s struggled on the road, where he has a 4.27 ERA and .275 allowed batting average. The Angels are also a mess right now, losing games left and right. Morton is a shell of himself at 41 years old, but he looked sharp in his Tigers debut, and maybe pitching for a contender and getting out of Baltimore gives him a shot in the arm. Morton has allowed seven runs in his last 18.2 innings, so he’s pitched better recently overall. Give me the Tigers and the RL for max betting value. The Angels look like a team ready for the season to end.
