Los Angeles Angels vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers here. I get the case to be made for either side in this game but the problem here is that the Angels just aren’t trustworthy enough to consider backing against the top-tier teams in baseball. I mean this team just dropped their series with the Rockies at home, and now have a rivalry series against a Dodgers team that’s just flat out rolling. I’m not a Roki Sasaki fan, but he’s been decent enough in recent starts to back here. Give me the Dodgers.
