LA Angels vs LA Dodgers Prediction

The LA Angels are hard to back these days, especially against above-average teams, and throwing Griffin Canning doesn’t make them any more appealing. Bobby Miller has been awful in limited innings, but it doesn’t matter. The Dodgers find ways to win Games regardless, and they should make light work of an Angels team that’s counting down the days until the offseason. The Dodgers are chasing down the best record in baseball. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
