LA Angels vs LA Dodgers Prediction

I’m not excited to get behind Walker Buehler and his struggles, but I have no choice. Reid Detmers hasn’t been any better, and the Angels are a joke of a team that has nothing to play for at this stage. Buehler or not, the Dodgers are talented enough offensively to find a way to win, and they need to keep winning to finish the year with the best overall record. I’m not backing the Angels regardless of the matchup. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
