Marlins picks and predictions at Angels

Prediction

Angels 4, Marlins 3

money line

BET ANGELS (-145).

The Angels have won 4 in a row and are 13-4 in their last 17 at home against teams with a losing record. The Marlins are 1-6 in their last 7 against left-handed starters and are coming off a demoralizing loss to the Rockies last time out. The Angels dominated the Marlins last season and should do it again in this series opener.

Running line/Against the spread

APPROVE.

The Marlins have been losing games, but their last 2 losses were by just 1 run. Miami +1.5 (-165) should hit the mark, but there’s no need to pay the ultimate price on the run line when the Angels’ money line is the best play. Bet on the LA money line and/or the total instead.

Below

BET MINOR 8 (-105).

The Under are 4-1 in Miami’s last 5 games after scoring 5 or more runs last time out and are 4-1 in their last 5 against left-handed starters.

The Under have hit in 4 of Los Angeles’ last 5 games and should be hitting again on Friday when the Marlins offense returns to Earth after exploding for 4 runs in the ninth inning at Colorado on Thursday.
