Phillies vs Angels Prediction
The Phillies are 5-2 in their last 7 meetings against the Angels and have won their last four visits in Los Angeles.
In this Phillies vs Angels Prediction, the Phillies are coming as -180 road favorites. Zack Wheeler has been in one of the worst slumps of his career, having given up 4+ runs in three of his last four starts and got shelled by the Mariners in his last start. Kikuchi returned from a long absence and gave up 5 runs, 7 hits and 2 homers in 5 innings pitched, so with the total set at just 7.5 runs, I will look at the over in this spot. The Angels have a bottom-10 bullpen ERA, while the Phillies average 5.4 runs per game in their last 10. Take the over 7.5.
