PLAY THIS ON FANDUEL!!! I just played this at -124 on Fanduel (which is still 10 cents off of what my buddy Propstarz got this at earlier) but please do not play this on Caesars at the posted price of -160 when -124/-130 is widely available. Regardless of price, I think this line should be at 4.5, especially against a Phillies team that's been much tougher to strike out of late.
Whoa baby with the Angels, who are finishing up April having won just one series (a sweep of lowly Miami) and currently on a 58-104 pace, which would set a franchise mark for futility. This numbing stretch also counts a 27-56 record since the beginning of last August, and the battered pitching staff has allowed 38 games across the last four games, all losses. Meanwhile, the offense is a monument to inefficiency, especially Mike Trout, with his league-leading 10 homers but also just 14 RBIs, ranking 69th. Momentum edge to the Phils, up on I-5 to Anaheim from San Diego after sweeping the Padres. Monday starter Christopher Sanchez also has a 2.96 ERA thus far. Play Phils on Run Line
Griffin Canning is averaging a career low 7.50 K/9 and the dip in strikeouts certainly appears warranted thus far. Canning's 10.1% SwStr% is nearly 3% lower than his career average of 12.8%, in addition to possessing a 79% Contact%, by far the worst mark of his career. He will face a stingy Phillies lineup that has not only been producing a lot of runs recently, but possesses the 10th lowest K rate on season.
The Fightin Phils keep battling, the rotation keeps rolling and the bats are busting out. They tend to beat up on bad pitching and while Griffin Canning isn't quite as bad as his numbers indicate, he can give up run in bunches, something Phillys lineup excels at. Alex Bohm is on fire and Angels in a freefall after getting lit up by light-hitting Twins. Bullpen very taxed right now
