Tampa Bay Rays vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’ve made a living fading the Angels over the years, but they’re having a fine week, and Jax has been hittable this season. Jax has a 4.15 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and .262 allowed batting average. Soriano has been a bright spot for the Angels with a 2.96 ERA and 1.24 WHIP on the season, and he has a .211 allowed batting average in 39.1 home innings. Based on their current form and the edge on the mound, it’s hard not to side with the Angels at this pick-em price.
