Angels vs Rays Predictions, Best Bet
The 7-3 Los Angeles Angels take on the 4-6 Tampa Bay Rays tonight. The Rays lost the first game of the series last night and will be looking to bounce back behind Ryan Pepiot, who takes the mound with a 0-1 record and a 2.45 ERA. Despite the loss, Pepiot has shown good velocity and has done a solid job limiting home runs.
On the other side, the Angels are off to a surprisingly strong start and will turn to veteran lefty Yusei Kikuchi, with also 0-1 and has a 4.50 ERA. Kikuchi usually struggles with his control, something Tampa Bay will look to exploit.
The total sits at 8, signaling expectations of a potentially low-scoring affair between two capable arms. The total has some sharp reverse movement, so I’ll lock that in tonight.
My Pick: Under 8 total runs (-115)
