Los Angeles Angels
The Angels lost the first game of their only series in Cleveland on Monday, 5–4.
Mike Trout homered for the 35th time this season but Aaron Loup didn’t retire any of the three batters he faced in the seventh inning and took the loss.
Cleveland hit Loup right off the top of the order in the seventh with Steven Kwan singling and Ahmed Rosario knocking him in with a double.
Patrick Sandoval will go in this game three of the series. He’s been quietly brilliant this season, posting a 135 ERA+ through his first 23 starts.
He has 131 strikeouts in 127 innings and given up just seven home runs all year (one every 18 innings).
He got his first win against Cleveland back in April with seven shutout innings. He only gave up two hits and struck out nine.
He’s in line for another strong start in this game. Cleveland does a lot of things well but it can struggle to score, especially against the better pitching out there.
Cleveland Guardians
Four hits led to four runs for Cleveland in the second inning against Reid Detmers on Monday.
Konnor Pilkington couldn’t hold the lead, though. He was up 4–0 and cruising through three innings.
A pair of two-run homers in consecutive innings did away with that. Matt Duffy hit the first and Trout hit the second.
But the Guardian’s bullpen did what it has done all season: settle things down and get the win.
Eli Morgan started it with a scoreless sixth. Enyel De Los Santos (4–0) got the win with a scoreless seventh.
Trevor Stephan and Sam Hentges tag-teamed the eighth and Emmanuel Clase notched his 34th save with a 1-2-3 ninth, including a punch-out.
Cleveland is now four up on Chicago in the loss column in the AL Central.
The ending to the current home stand will give the Guards the chance to clinch it — six against the White Sox and Twins before going to Chicago for three more.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
Los Angeles Angels vs. Cleveland Guardians MLB Prediction:
Sandoval is going to pitch well, first and foremost. The Guardians have managed to continue to win without scoring a lot of runs. Chances are high they won’t score many in the first six of this game.
But the Angels don’t have a particularly strong bullpen. I lean LA but just betting the first five innings may be the prudent play in this spot.
