Dodgers at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Angels 2
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the Dodgers (-190) to win Tuesday.
Run line/Against the spread
BET DODGERS -1.5 (-125).
Six of the Dodgers’ last 7 wins have come by 2 or more runs, and they have scored 6 or more in 5 of their last 6 games. Five of the Angels’ last 7 losses have come by 2 or more runs, while they have scored 3 or fewer in 8 of their last 10 outings.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 9.5 (-115).
While the Dodgers have scored 6 or more runs in 7 of their last 10 Games, the Angels have scored 3 or fewer in 7 of their last 10. The Dodgers are capable of carrying the total; however, the Angels’ lack of scoring will prevent the Over from hitting.
