MLB Betting Trends
Los Angeles
The Angels are 6-0 in their last six AL East games. Los Angeles is 5-1 in its last six road games.
Baltimore
The Orioles are 0-4 in their last four Sunday games. Baltimore is 23-6 in its last 79 home games.
Prediction:
Baltimore sends arguably its best starting pitcher to the mound today as Means has been one of the few positives during another poor season. Meanwhile, Canning is a rookie who will have some hiccups along the way. Even though LA is playing awesome baseball right now, it has benefited from favorable matchups and today's is less favorable. The Angels have been inconsistent all season and I don't see why on a getaway day, they can't lay a dub against Means and the O's.
