It’s an interleague battle on Friday when the Washington Nationals travel to California to take on the Los Angeles Angels to begin a three-game series.
Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals have been playing much better since they snapped their eight-game losing streak, winning three of the first four games following the streak. However, the team did lose 2 of 3 to Colorado and are now 6-7 on the road.
Starter Patrick Corbin pitched very well in Wednesday’s game, going the distance in allowing three earned runs and nine hits. It was a costly error that doomed the team, as all five runs scored following a play that should have been the third out of the inning. Fielding continues to be a struggle for Washington, as they are 25th in baseball with 21 errors and a .978 fielding percentage. That has led to 11 unearned runs in the first 21 games.
Joan Adon will start for Washington on Friday. It has been a rough go for the right-hander in his rookie season, going 1-4 with a 7.33 ERA in five starts.
Los Angeles Angels
Los Angeles scored the tying run in the ninth inning, then put up six runs in the 10th to earn a 10-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox Wednesday. Los Angeles hit two homeruns in the 10th, including shots by Taylor Ward and Jared Walsh. Jared Walsh had a monster game against the Red Sox, going 3-5 with two runs scored and four RBI.They followed that up with an 8-0 win over Boston on Thursday to improve to 17-10.
Los Angeles hit 6 home runs in the last two games, not surprising as they are third in the Majors with 34 home runs. The team has scored 130 runs, second most, and their 4.7 runs per game is fifth best.
Michael Lorenzen (3-1) gets the start on Friday. The pitching staff has been solid this season, 14th in baseball with a 3.54 ERA. The team may be relying on their bullpen to handle the opening contest of the series. They are 18th with a 3.62 ERA and have a 1.09 WHIP.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Nationals are 6-7 ATS on the road
- Nationals O/U are 9-2-2 on the road
- Angels are 6-7 ATS at home
- Angels O/U are 4-9 at home
Washington Nationals vs. Los Angeles Angels MLB Prediction:
One should be quite confident in the ability of the Angels to pull out this contest. It starts with the fact that Adon is getting rocked.
He has had only one good start in his five outings, giving up at least four runs in those four starts. Los Angeles is a team that gets on base (.318 OBP) and they have the power to bring guys home.
Take the Angels to pull away with ease.
