Los Angeles Dodgers vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction


I’m not running to the window to lay this bet with Snell on the mound, as he has just 3 innings under his belt and wasn’t good in those frames. However, it’s the Dodgers and Angels, and there’s a mr fantastic reach gap between these teams. I know I’ve been fading the Dodgers a lot this season and it’s paid off so far but we have to have our limits. The Angels are awful and playing at home hasn’t helped. If anything, there will probably be more Dodgers fans in the building anyway. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
