In yesterday’s 6-0 victory, the LA Angels saw several pitches that Tanner Bibee could not locate. Today, should be a different story as the Angels lineup has holes due to multiple key injuries. Additionally, Cleveland after having a strong month of April, is struggling in a new month. They have scored just two runs over their last eighteen innings, and lost four of five. Take the under.
The Angels took the series opener with surprising ease, but I'll back Cleveland, a team that's 16-7 in games decided by multiple runs, to bounce back today against Reid Detmers, a talented lefty who has been lit up in his last two starts. The Guardians excel against southpaws (118 OPS+ vs. 99 against righties), so I expect Detmers' tough run to continue. The Angels lineup just isn't very threatening without Mike Trout, and Ben Lively owns a 2.30 ERA and 19:3 K:BB in his three starts. I'd be surprised if this money line doesn't close higher.
Ramirez has strong splits off Detmers, he hits velo very well from the left side and Detmers has come off his incredible pace from his first handful of starts. Angels bullpen also stinks. Ramirez is batting .286 off lefties and slugging over .500 against them. He's driving in a run every 5 ABs vs them this season. Guardians were a little lethargic Fri in their first game back from a road trip but I expect them to put Angels pitching in far more peril tonight
