Key Stats
Los Angeles Angels
Griffin Canning will take the bump for the Angels in today’s game. Canning has started the season 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA and struck out two batters. Logan O’Hoppe leads the team with a .438 batting average and an OBP of .550. Mike Trout has crushed three home runs, while Taylor Ward has collected eight hits and eight RBIs.
Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox are expected to start Kutter Crawford for today’s game. Crawford is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and seven strikeouts. Jarren Duran leads the team with a .393 batting average and 11 hits. Tyler O’Neill has tallied seven RBIs and two home runs, while Trevor Story has tallied four RBIs.
Game Prediction
This game is hard to pick because neither team is as good as their records indicate. Both teams are off to a good start because of a weaker schedule. Crawford gives Boston a slight pitching advantage, but Canning could bounce back after a poor performance in his last appearance. The odds in this one don’t favor either team, but the Angels are at home. I am following my instincts and rolling LA on the moneyline to win this one.
Final Pick
Los Angeles Angels ML (-115)
