Why Anaheim pulls away:
Buehler’s command issues make for a short outing and extra strain on Boston’s bullpen.
Kochanowicz should hold his own for 4–5 innings, keeping Angels in the game.
LA’s bats, energized by a recent 8-run performance, should capitalize.
Final call: Look for an early high-scoring clash, with Boston grinding back to within two by the 8th but falling short—Angels prevail 7–5.
