MLB Betting Trends
Los Angeles
The Angels are 8-3 in their last 11 against AL Central opponents and they also have won four straight starts from Ohtani.
Detroit
The Tigers have won nine of their last 13 at home but are just 17-37 in their last 54 against AL West opponents and 7-16 in their last 23 Wednesday games.
Prediction:
The Angels got back to mashing the ball on Tuesday and the door should be open for more mashing tonight against Fiers. The Tigers will be seeing Ohtani for the first time, so it could be a slow start at the plate for Detroit hitters. Los Angels is a big favorite on the road, but I feel good about their chances to win by multiple runs.
The Pick: Los Angeles Angels -1.5 (-130)
