Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’m looking at the Dodgers here. It’s just been very hard to feel good about backing the Angels in Jose Soriano’s starts this season at home as he’s struggled far more at home this season than on the road. The Dodgers almost had the sweep against Toronto but fell short in the finale, I still think though, that the Dodgers are just the far better team in this matchup and I think they get the job done here. Give me the Dodgers in this one.
