Angels vs Marlins Prediction
The Angels are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Marlins and have won their last four visits in Miami.
In this Angels vs Marlins Prediction, the Marlins are coming as -160 home favorites. I am with the Marlins in this one, as they will be facing a struggling Angels squad that is just 2-7 in its last 9 games and has been terrible on the road. George Klassen has looked awful in just 4.2 innings pitched for the Angels with a 11.57 ERA and 3.64 WHIP and the Marlins have both a better offense and a better bullpen this season. Take the Marlins to win this one at home.
