Pirates vs Angels Preview, Parlay Predictions
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Angels F5 -0.5” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/laa.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/los-angeles-angels” link1follow=”false”][/subheader]
Tyler Anderson has been phenomenal so far this season, as he has a 2-0 record with a 2.08 ERA.
In particular, Anderson has been great at home this year, pitching 11 innings while allowing just four hits and two earned runs.
He’s been lights out, and that play should continue on Thursday.
The Angels’ bats will catch fire on Thursday against Carmen Mlodzinski, and they should get to him early and often, allowing Anderson to pitch more freely.
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Andrew McCutchen Over 0.5 Home Runs” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/pit.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/pittsburgh-pirates” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
In Andrew McCutchen’s career, he’s faced Anderson 10 times, posting two hits and two walks in those at-bats.
McCutchen is raking off left-handed pitchers this year, hitting .316.
In the last week, McCutchen has one home run despite barreling the ball very well.
At this price, it’s too hard to pass up on this home-run play.
