Join us for our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> where our Mariners-Angels prediction and pick will be revealed.</p><p>Entering play with a 30-31 record, the Mariners will be seeking to get back on the winning train after losing six of eight games. Currently ten games back in the division, there’s no doubt that Seattle needs to start playing their best baseball starting with ace Luis Castillo and his 4-3 record to go along with a shiny 2.55 ERA.</p><p>As for the Angels, Los Angeles will fortunately have one of the best pitchers in the league with the international sensation himself in Shohei Ohtani. In twelve games started, Ohtani has generated a 5-2 to record with a 3.30 ERA. In his last start which resulted in a 6-2 loss to the Astros, Ohtani logged in a quality start of six innings pitched but gave up five runs. Overall, the Angels come into Friday with a 34-30 record and are only 2.5 games behind the final Wild Card spot.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Mariners-Angels <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Mariners-Angels Odds</b></h2><p>Seattle Mariners: +1.5 (-196)</p><p>Los Angeles Angels: -1.5 (+162)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-105)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-115)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Mariners vs. Angels</b></h2><p>TV: Apple TV</p><p>Stream: MLB.TV</p><p>Time: 9:30 ET/6:30 PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Mariners Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>For starters, the recipe for success in terms of covering the spread comes in the form of an elite pitching staff that remains as one of the best in baseball. At first look, the Mariners have logged together the most quality starts in the majors at 32. In addition, Seattle has done an excellent job at keeping batting averages low and also boasts a fairly solid 4.02 ERA. With an offense that is currently struggling to score runs, having the type of pitching staff that Seattle has is something nice to fall back on.</p><p>Most importantly, the Mariners will be going up against Ohtani with their remarkable hurler in Luis Castillo. On paper, Castillo has been a menace when pitching against the Angels as he has tallied a flawless 2-0 record with a 1.93 ERA in three career starts versus Los Angeles. Alas, riding the right arm of Castillo certainly seems like a go-to strategy to cover the spread.</p><p>Above all else, the Mariners have to make it a priority to get the offense going at the plate. While Seattle will certainly have a difficult task against Ohtani, their situation of coming out on top later this evening won’t improve anymore if they continue to stand men on base and in scoring position. In their 10-3 loss coming at the hands of the Padres on Wednesday, the team left nine runners on base and failed to capitalize at the dish when it mattered most. Simply put, Seattle must be disciplined and string together good at-bats when there is an opportunity to score runs.</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Coming into play with a slightly better record than their division rival Mariners, the Angels have surprisingly been playing much better over the course of their previous handful of games. In fact, the Halos are on an active four-game winning streak.</p><p>When taking a closer glance at why the Angels have been so productive of late, it has been because of a ferocious balance of play that has made it nearly impossible for the opposition to gain the upper hand. Believe it or not, but LA’s pitching arms have allowed four runs or less during their winning streak. Clearly, winning baseball games comes into shape when your pitching is at its best from the mound, and the Angels will definitely have a superb chance to replicate this success with Shohei Ohtani on the bump.</p><p>Overall, Ohtani has been nearly un-hittable in his career with a perfect 5-0 record to go along with a minuscule 1.62 ERA in seven starts. Even if the offense fails to show up for play on this Friday, it is almost a near guarantee that Ohtani brings his A game against a team he has had historic success against.</p><p>Not to mention, but don’t count on the Angels’ offense to lay an egg even with Castillo on the mound. So far, LA has top-ten marks in runs, batting average, on-base percentage, and even slugging percentage. On paper, this is a much more statistically sound offense than the one the Mariners possess and they should be able to cross the plate more often than not en route to a possible covering of the spread.</p><h2><b>Final Mariners-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>With all of the factors coming into play in this contest, side with the Angels who have been playing much better baseball as of late to treat their home fans with a spread-covering victory in convincing fashion.</p><p><b>Final Mariners-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick: Angels -1.5 (+162)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They went just 10-18 in May, however, and saw their OPS drop over 100 points from the opening month. Those offensive struggles have continued into the start of June where they own a minuscule .172 average.</p><p>Lefty Drew Smyly (5-3) makes his 13th start of the season for the Cubs tonight. Smyyl had a strong debut season in Chicago last season and has carried that momentum into this year. Through 12 starts, he owned a solid 3.56 ERA to go along with his 1.11 WHIP. The 33-year-old doesn’t strike many batters out these days but has done an excellent job limiting hard contact. He ranks in the 88th percentile in average exit velocity and the 90th percentile in hard-hit rate. Smyly exhibits excellent control – ranking in the 76th percentile in walk rate despite struggling with free passes in his last three starts. Although he has regressed somewhat after a dominant stretch to start the year, Smyly remains a quality arm.</p><p>Regardless of how well Smyly pitches tonight, the Cubs need to reignite their offense if they want to avoid a sweep. The good news is that Chicago has destroyed left-handed pitching this season – batting over 30 points higher and slugging over 60 points higher compared to righties. That starts with second baseman Nico Hoerner who owns a .310 average and .803 OPS against southpaws. However, keep an eye on both Seyia Suzuki and Yan Gomes – both hitters own an average north of .350 against lefties. Gomes in particular could be an X-factor considering he owns a 1.108 OPS against lefties – the 10th-highest mark in the league.</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p><i><b>Last 10: 5-5 (Third in the AL West)</b></i></p><p><i><b>Run Line Record: 31-32 (49%)</b></i></p><p><i><b>Over Record: 30-29-4 (51%)</b></i></p><p>The Angels have been incredibly consistent this season as they sit three games over .500 and went 15-13 in both April and May. Although they dropped 3/4 against the Astros coming into this series, they bounced back with wins in each of this set’s first two games. Don’t expect the Angels to take their foot off the gas tonight. A win here would secure the Angels just their third sweep of the season. That said, LA has struggled to win games Reid Detmers starts this season – mainly due to a lack of offense. Consequently, the Angels will need to keep the bats rolling after scoring 13 in the first two games if they want to cover as home favorites tonight.</p><p>Fireballer Reid Detmers (0-5) makes his 11th start of the season for the Angels tonight. Detmers has flashed top-end potential over his three-year career but hasn’t quite been able to put it all together. He owns a strong 10.7 K/9 but gives up a staggering amount of hard contact. For the season, Detmers compiled a 5.15 ERA and 1.54 WHIP while ranking in the 18th percentile in hard-hit rate. He’s still searching for his first win despite being consistently average this year. Detmers allowed between 2-4 earned runs in all 10 of his starts thus far but the team’s won just three of those games.</p><p>That said, the 23-year-old could very well notch his first win tonight matched up with a slumping Chicago offense. Over the last three weeks, only the Royals have scored fewer runs than the Cubs. Throw in their sixth-highest strikeout rate and Detmers could very well be in line for his best start of the season tonight.</p><p>For as good as the Cubs have been against lefties, the Angels have been even better – batting .282 as a team against them. Mike Trout, in particular, has raked lefties with a .292 average and 26 total bases in just 57 at-bats.</p><h2><b>Final Cubs-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>It will have taken 11 starts but Reid Detmers should finally pick up his first win of the season tonight. After dropping the first two, don’t expect the Cubs’ offense to turn things around in the finale – ride the Angels.</p><p><b>Final Cubs-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick: Los Angeles Angels -1.5 (+146)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series has our </a> Cubs Angels prediction and pick. Find out how to watch Cubs Angels.</p><p>The Los Angeles Angels are fighting an uphill battle in the American League West. The Texas Rangers have soared through their first 60 games this season, changing the balance of power not only in the West, but in the entire American League. The Rangers just keep scoring and just keep winning. With the Houston Astros playing well and being firmly established in second place in the division — setting themselves up for a push for first place after the All-Star break — the Halos are the third-best team in the division as things stand. They are ahead of the Seattle Mariners, which seems like a pleasant surprise on the surface, but that’s more a product of the Mariners being disappointing than the Angels being particularly good. Los Angeles is only two games above .500 right now, and that’s simply not going to get it done in terms of making the playoffs. The Angels have to climb past at least one if not two teams in the American League East. They will very likely need to finish ahead of the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays if they want a playoff spot. (The Baltimore Orioles and the second-place team in the West are in line to get the first two wild card spots. The Angels’ best chance is to get the third wild card berth.) The margin for error is small. The Angels have to beat bad teams such as the Chicago Cubs.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Cubs-Angels <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Cubs-Angels Odds</b></h2><p>Chicago Cubs: +1.5 (-162)</p><p>Los Angeles Angels: -1.5 (+134)</p><p>Over: 9.5 (+100)</p><p>Under: 9.5 (-122)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Cubs vs. Angels</b></h2><p>TV: Marquee Sports Network (Cubs) / Bally Sports West (Angels) / MLB Extra Innings</p><p>Stream: MLB.tv</p><p>Time: 9:40 p.m. ET/6:40 p.m. PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch Cubs-Angels LIVE on fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Cubs Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Cubs have stabilized over their past eight games. This team had gone through a really rough period in the middle of May, but Chicago is 4-4 in its last eight games, having won two out of three from the Tampa Bay Rays and then splitting four games with the Padres in San Diego over the past weekend. Every team goes through a few really bad patches every season. The Cubs just endured a big downturn, but they have emerged from it and are able to play talented opponents fairly evenly. The Cubs took a 4-0 lead in Tuesday night’s game against the Angels before their pitching broke down, but the fact remains that Chicago did take a 4-0 lead. The Cubs aren’t where they want to be or need to be, but they aren’t pushovers, either. The Angels have struggled over the past two weeks, getting swept at home by the Marlins and losing three of four to the Astros. Chicago can certainly get another quick start. This time, the Cubs will protect the lead if they get one.</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Angels have the pitching advantage in this game. Jaime Barria is the starter for the Halos. Though he has pitched only 34 innings this season as a reliever and spot starter, the 1.59 ERA in those 34 innings is still hugely impressive. If opposing hitters are collecting more tape on Barria, they still aren’t figuring him out. Not yet, at any rate. Barria is certainly better than Chicago starter Jameson Taillon, whose return to the National League after a brief stay in New York with the Yankees has not gone smoothly. Taillon has labored through an up-and-down year. His ERA is just over seven runs entering this contest. The Angels have to love how this matchup is aligned for them.</p><h2><b>Final Cubs-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>It is really hard to look past the pitching matchup here. The Angels have a big edge. Take the Halos.</p><p><b>Final Cubs-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick: Angels -1.5 </b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Meanwhile, the Angels optioned INF Livan Soto to Double-A.</p><p>It’s been a difficult season for Rendon. He found himself <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-anthony-rendon-fights-fan-opening-day-loss-athletics" rel="noopener">under police investigation</a> following an altercation with an Oakland Athletics fan to open the 2023 campaign. Rendon would later receive a suspension for the incident. He then <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-anthony-rendon-brutally-honest-groin-injury" rel="noopener">suffered a groin injury</a> in May and has missed the past few weeks with the ailment.</p><p>That said, Anthony Rendon has performed well in limited action this season. The Angels’ star is currently slashing .301/.415/.369 with a .784 OPS and one home run over 30 games. He typically offers much more power, but Rendon has done a good job of recording hits and getting on-base. The Angels need him to stay healthy moving forward though, something that’s been a challenge for him ever since arriving in Anaheim.</p><h2><b>Anthony Rendon with the Angels</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/angels-news-los-angeles-makes-crucial-anthony-rendon-injury-decision-2.jpg"></figure><p>Following the Washington Nationals’ 2019 World Series victory, which Anthony Rendon played a pivotal role in, Rendon signed with the Angels in free agency. His first season with the Angels was a success, playing in 52 games (during the shortened 2020 season) and hitting .286 with a .915 OPS.</p><p>In 2021, though, Rendon appeared in only 58 games. He followed that up by playing in 47 games in 2022. Rendon also struggled at the plate during both seasons. His inability to stay on the field has been problematic.</p><p>The Angels are in the midst of an important campaign. Shohei Ohtani is set to enter free agency during the offseason and the Halos want to show him they can win. If they can’t reach the playoffs this year, Ohtani will likely sign elsewhere. Rendon will be a key piece to the puzzle if the Angels want to reach the postseason for the first time since 2014.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Join us for our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> where our Cubs-Angels prediction and pick will be revealed.</p><p>Most recently, the Cubs split a four-game series with the Padres but were bested in the finale by a score of 5-0. With the hopes to get the offense going again, Chicago will attempt to baffle the Halos with righty Hayden Wesneski on the mound. Thus far, Wesneski is 2-2 with a 4.81 ERA to begin his 2023 campaign. Overall, the Cubbies are headed in the wrong direction with a 26-33 record which is good for fourth-place in the NL Central.</p><p>On the other side of things, Los Angeles is coming off of a difficult series versus the Houston Astros as they were just barely able to salvage a four-game sweep by defeating the defending champs 2-1. Sitting one game above the .500 mark at 31-0 overall, the Angels will call upon the southpaw in Tyler Anderson. Although Anderson is 2-1, he comes into this one with a below-average 5.47 ERA. Alas, the Angels are banking on the fact that Anderson can put together a start of old similar to his dominant times with the Dodgers last season.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Cubs-Angels <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Cubs-Angels Odds</b></h2><p>Chicago Cubs: -1.5 (+150)</p><p>Los Angeles Angels: +1.5 (-182)</p><p>Over: 9.5 (-118)</p><p>Under: 9.5 (-104)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Cubs vs. Angels</b></h2><p>TV: Bally Sports West, Marquee Sports Network</p><p>Stream: MLB.TV, ESPN+</p><p>Time: 9:38 ET/6:38 PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Cubs Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>First things first, the Chicago Cubs just need to get out of their own way and play with a sense of more consistency. Before their 5-0 loss, the Cubs certainly looked the part of a stellar squad with a dominant 7-1 victory. However, prior to that, Chicago was blanked yet again by a score of 6-0. Clearly, it seems that the Cubbies’ offense and pitching can’t get on the same page recently, and it will end up being extremely important for Chicago to put together a fundamentally sound outing to defeat the Halos on the road.</p><p>Outside of the fact that Chicago needs to be at their best in every facet of the game, the Cubs need to do what they are best at which is pitching up to par. So far, the Cubbies have logged 26 combined quality starts which is the eighth-most in all of baseball. Similarly enough, be on the lookout for Hayden Wesneski to pitch a quality start as this will take the pressure off of the offense and most importantly the arms of the bullpen. In fact, Wesneski gave up only one run in his last start, but he pitched only 3 2/3 of that ballgame. If the Cubs are going to make a statement on Tuesday night, then that responsibility may fall on the shoulders of their 25-year-old righty.</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>With all the talent in the world including two of the best current players to walk the face of the Earth, the Angels have still found ways to disappoint over the last couple years. Currently, the Angels certainly have their work cut out for them as they even sit five games behind the final spot in the AL Wild Card.</p><p>Nevertheless, no matter what happens at the end of the year to this team, there are certainly more than a couple reasons that Los Angeles can cover the spread against the Cubs at home. The most obvious picker-upper that should rejuvenate the overall morale of this team will be the return of third-baseman Anthony Rendon. With the rumblings in and around the clubhouse have suggested that Rendon could be returning to the active roster and starting lineup on Tuesday. Simply put, it has been a massive disappointment during Rendon’s tenure with the Angels as he has only played 58 games in four years. Still, Rendon is as lethal as they come at the hot corner and he will no doubt be a welcomed addition in this already-stacked Angels lineup.</p><p>Above all else, it will be important for the Halos to get Tyler Anderson in a rhythm from the get-go. A year ago, Anderson dialed up an incredible 28-15 record on his way to a minuscule 2.57 ERA which was hands down his best campaign as a pro. However, Anderson has yet to recapture that same magic with the Angels. If LA is going to handle their business at what should be a packed Angel Stadium, then Anderson needs to look like this 2022 self.</p><h2><b>Final Cubs-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This one should be as exciting as it gets!

This guy has been through enough sports trauma for one lifetime.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The clock is ticking on the Los Angeles Angels. Dual threat extraordinaire Shohei Ohtani is in the last year of team control, which means that the Angels will have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-why-angels-likely-wont-trade-shohei-ohtani-this-season" rel="noopener">greater urgency to bolster</a> the roster ahead of the August 1 trade deadline so they could make Ohtani’s potential last season in Orange County as fruitful as it can be.</p><p>At the moment, the Angels have a 31-30 record; if the postseason began today, they would be on the outside looking in on the playoff picture. They are currently fifth in the AL Wild Card standings — 5.5 games behind the Houston Astros.</p><p>Of course, it is still early in the 2023 campaign. The Angels have 101 more games to play, with around a month and a half’s worth of games to decide whether they’ll be pushing to make the playoffs or whether they’ll face the music and sell off <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/three-wild-shohei-ohtani-trades-during-2023-mlb-season" rel="noopener">Shohei Ohtani for a motherlode</a>.</p><p>Nevertheless, the Angels’ last postseason berth was in 2014, and their last playoff win came in 2009, so one would think that their front office may be feeling some sense of desperation to break this lengthy drought.</p><p>With that in mind, these are the two early 2023 MLB trade deadline targets the Angels could set their sights on depending on their current team needs.</p><h2>Cody Bellinger</h2><p>The first base position has been quite the black hole for the Angels ever since they signed Albert Pujols to a megadeal in 2012. Even following Pujols’ departure and subsequent retirement, the Angels have found it difficult to obtain elite or even solid production from a position many expect to be a source of dingers aplenty.</p><p>The Angels may have addressed other areas of need this past offseason, but they left first base in the hands of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-5-players-who-need-bounce-back-seasons-2023" rel="noopener">29-year old Jared Walsh</a>. Walsh, to put it frankly, has not been good. This season, Walsh has dealt with headaches and insomnia, which explains away a lot of his struggles. But his struggles have merely been a continuation of the downward trend in his production ever since he peaked with a 29-homer season in 2021.</p><p>Brandon Drury has slugged well enough when thrust into action in first base, but he’s extremely more valuable to the Angels as a middle infielder. Thus, acquiring an upgrade at the position could do wonders for the Angels.</p><p>The Angels’ offense isn’t exactly in dire need of reinforcement. They rank eighth in the MLB in runs scored after all. Mickey Moniak has been exceptional for the Angels in his limited plate appearances, while Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani have continued to hold down the fort.</p><p>But imagine just how much better the Angels offense could be if they can actually get some positive batting production from one of the game’s premium hitting positions?</p><p>Enter Cody Bellinger.</p><p>Bellinger rose through the ranks as a first baseman, so even though he’s plying his trade as a centerfielder nowadays (which he has become elite defensively at), the Angels could definitely utilize him in that position. Bellinger has revived his career with the Chicago Cubs; but the Cubs, as presently constructed, may not be good enough to challenge for the postseason quite yet.</p><p>The Cubs merely signed Bellinger to a one-year deal this past offseason in hopes of facilitating a career revival, and that they have done. Now, given the stage they’re in in their roster-building, perhaps turning a low-risk offseason signing <a href="https://theathletic.com/4580518/2023/06/05/cubs-cody-bellinger-trade-deadline-free-agency/" rel="noopener">into prospect capital</a> could be the shrewd move.</p><p>The Angels don’t exactly have too many top-shelf prospects to dangle, but that may not be necessary since Cody Bellinger doesn’t exactly have the highest of trade values given his lack of team control and his shoddy track record in recent years. At the moment, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cubs-news-cody-bellinger-receives-injury-update-ahead-of-astros-clash" rel="noopener">Bellinger is injured as well</a>, which only helps the Angels from a negotiating perspective.</p><h2>Jordan Montgomery</h2><p>The St. Louis Cardinals have unexpectedly scuffled to a rough 25-36 start to the 2023 MLB season. The Cardinals have plenty of time to turn things around, even though the Pittsburgh Pirates’ eight-game lead in the NL Central may be too much to overcome. If that proves to be the case even as we approach the MLB trade deadline, perhaps they’ll be open to the idea of trading away Jordan Montgomery.</p><p>The Angels have tried to rebuild their pitching rotation for years; in the end, however, the Angels have always ended up having to rely on middling talents to soak up innings. ERA is not a catch-all stat, as it doesn’t exactly tell the whole story about how well a pitcher performed, but in the Angels’ case, it’s difficult to look at their current cast of arms behind Shohei Ohtani and think that that’s enough for a deep playoff run.</p><p>Montgomery won’t solve the Angels’ problems of having too many lefty starters. But the 30-year old southpaw hurler is better than all of the Angels’ current options other than Ohtani. It’s not quite clear if the Cardinals would deal Montgomery not even a year after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-jordan-montgomery-shockingly-dealt-to-cardinals-at-mlb-trade-deadline" rel="noopener">acquiring him for Harrison Bader</a>, but Montgomery is in the last year of team control, which means that he might be available for a discount price in a trade given the Cardinals’ lack of leverage.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ohtani, arguably the best player in baseball, has dealt with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/astros-news-alex-bregman-becomes-only-man-modern-era-shocking-feat-vs-shohei-ohtani-angels" rel="noopener">struggles on the mound</a> in recent action. The Halos are surely hopeful that this extra time off will help Ohtani get back on track.</p><p>When Shohei Ohtani struggles, it is different compared to everyone else. He’s a hitter and pitcher of course, so he remains extremely valuable despite his pitching frustrations as of late. And all things considered, the fact is that Ohtani is still performing well overall at the plate and on the mound.</p><p>He currently owns a respectable 3.30 ERA and 1.014 WHIP. Ohtani has also recorded 96 strikeouts compared to 29 walks so far in 2023. Offensively, the two-way phenom is slashing .274/.346/.539 with an .885 OPS and 15 home runs.</p><p>If the 2023 season ended today, Shohei Ohtani would once again be a legitimate MVP candidate. It’s difficult to ignore what Aaron Judge <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-freddie-freeman-yankees-aaron-judge-named-player-of-the-month" rel="noopener">is doing</a> with the New York Yankees, but the MVP decision would likely come down to Ohtani and Judge again.</p><p>The Angels, as a team, are hovering around the .500 mark in 2023. They currently hold a 31-30 record, good for third place in the American League West division. The Angels are trying to make the postseason for the first time since 2014 amid Shohei Ohtani’s looming free agency. Their performance in June will go a long way in determining whether or not Ohtani will be traded ahead of the deadline as well.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In 30 games, Rendon hit .301 with a home run and 20 RBI. He had more walks (19) than strikeouts (15).</p><p>Los Angeles is currently 30-30 on the season. They’re 8.5 games back of the surging Texas Rangers in the AL West. Assuming Rendon will pick up where he left off offensively, the Angels will look to turn their fortune around.</p><p>Anthony Rendon overall hasn’t been the player the Angels hoped they were signing. However, in Shohei Ohtani’s potential last season in Los Angeles, the third baseman has become crucial. As he returns to the lineup, the Angels will hope Rendon can stay healthy and get back to mashing home runs in LA.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

We are at Minute Maid Park, sharing our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a>, making an Angels-Astros prediction and pick while showing you how to watch.</p><p>The Astros defeated the Angels 9-6 on Saturday. Now, they have a chance to sweep the four-game series against the Halos. The Angels got on the board first in the third inning when Shohei Ohtani slapped a triple to right-center field to make it 1-0 Halos. However, the Astros tied it up in the bottom half of the inning. Chas McCormick added to the fun when he clapped a double to left-center field to give the Astros their first lead of the day. Later, the Astros loaded the bases for Alex Bregman, who blasted a moonshot the left-center field for a grand slam.</p><p>The Angels inched closer when Hunter Renfroe golfed a long shot toward the Crawford boxes for a solo home run. Significantly, it was his 11th of the season and cut the deficit to 7-2. Ohtani clipped a double to left-center field to make it 7-3. Next, Mike Trout clipped a single to left-center field to cut the deficit to 7-5. But the Astros distanced themselves from the Angels when McCormick cratered a shot to right-center field for a solo shot. Thus, his fourth home run made it an 8-5 score. The Astros tacked on another run to finish off a victory.</p><p>Cristian Javier tossed six innings while allowing one earned run on six hits while striking out five. Meanwhile, Patrick Sandoval went 3 1/3 innings while allowing six earned runs and eight hits while striking out four and walking four. Sandoval started well and then unraveled in the fourth inning, causing the Angels to pull him.</p><p>Griffin Canning will come into today’s start with a 4-2 record and a 4.89 ERA. Meanwhile, J.P. France will make the start for the Astros and comes into the showdown with a record of 1-1 with a 4.00 ERA.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Angels-Astros <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Angels-Astros Odds</b></h2><p>Los Angeles Angels: +1.5 (-146)</p><p>Houston Astros: -1.5 (+122)</p><p>Over: 9 (-110)</p><p>Under: 9 (-110)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Reds vs. Cubs</b></h2><p>TV: SNSW, FSW, MLB Extra Innings, MLB TV</p><p>Stream: MLB</p><p>Time: 2:10 PM ET/11:10 AM PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Angels continue to struggle in Houston against the Astros. Moreover, the Angels came into this season with a 36-69 record against the Astros since the start of the 2017 season. The Angels left 13 runners on base on Thursday. Then, they left eight stranded on Friday and in last night’s game.</p><p>Trout is batting .269 with 13 home runs, 31 RBIs, and 36 runs. Ultimately, he went 1 for 5 yesterday. Ohtani is hitting .262 with 15 home runs, 38 RBIs, and 33 runs. Amazingly, he was one home run shy of the cycle yesterday. Renfroe is batting .256 with 10 home runs, 29 RBIs, and 31 runs. Furthermore, he contributed to the offensive production in yesterday’s game. Brandon Drury is hitting .254 with 10 home runs, 29 RBIs, and 26 runs. However, he could not do much yesterday. Gio Urshella is batting .310 with two home runs, 24 RBIs, and 21 runs. However, he did not provide much help yesterday.</p><p>The bullpen allowed three earned runs through 4 2/3 innings. Unfortunately, it was not a good second outing for Ben Joyce. But Sam Bachman tossed two shutout innings despite walking four. Hence, the Angels now are the sixth-worst team in the majors in walks. The bullpen has issued 75 walks, which ranks 22nd in the league.</p><p>The Angels will cover the spread if they can drive the runners home. Then, the pitchers must tighten the strike zone and avoid walks.</p><h2><b>Why The Astros Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Astros are amazing and catching fire again. Now, their bats look to cintinue their roll and take out their divisional rivals. Yordan Alvarez is batting .279 with 15 home runs, 50 RBIs, and 37 runs. Also, he went 1 for 4 with a run yesterday. Alex Bregman is hitting .248 with seven home runs, 32 RBIs, and 33 runs. Likewise, he went 1 for 4 yesterday with a run. Kyle Tucker is batting .281 with seven home runs, 34 his, and 22 runs. However, he got a rest day and will reenter the lineup today. McCormick is hitting .233 with four home runs, 14 RBIs, and 10 runs. Today, he looks to keep his bat hot.</p><p>The bullpen waffled yesterday. However, they remain the second-best in the league. The Astros do not walk many hitters and it has proven to be a difference during this winning streak.</p><p>The Astros will cover the spread if they continue to bash the baseball. Then, their pitching must avoid making mistakes to Ohtani and Trout.</p><h2><b>Final Angels-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Astros have dominated this series. However, the Angels are due to catch one break. They steal the final game.</p><p><b>Final Angels-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick: Los Angeles Angels: +1.5 (-146)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
