Los Angeles has lost 13 games in a row but the most recent came at a greater cost, with Mike Trout suffering an injury in Tuesday's loss to Boston. Our MLB betting picks don't expect the banged-up Angels to challenge the Red Sox. The Los Angeles Angels were so close to snapping their 12-game losing streak on Tuesday, but the Boston Red Sox scored…

Just being able to write about the Detroit Tigers and any sort of realistic shot at making the playoffs is so refreshing, when such thoughts have been non existent for the past five years, basically since former owner Mike Ilitch passed away. But here we are, with the much heralded prospects arriving in the major leagues and the team actually…

The Reds, last in the NL Central every year from 2015 to 2018, began pushing their chips to the middle of the table with the trade deadline acquisition of Trevor Bauer in 2019. After the 2019 season, they added free agent infielder Mike Moustakas, outfielder Nick Castellanos, and Japanese import Shogo Akiyama. The moves resulted in the team's first…

At the turn of the new year, Fangraphs' Effectively Wild - one of the best baseball podcasts around - dropped an episode where they discussed what baseball will look like in the 2020s.

The wall-to-wall changes began with the hiring of Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa as chief baseball officer last May, and also include new GM Dave Stewart, new director of baseball operations De Jon Watson and new manager Chip Hale. While it remains to be seen if the overhaul from a…

The Diamondbacks made a late run at a Wild Card spot last season and could do it again in 2020. Switch-hitters Ketel Marte and Eduardo Escobar enjoyed career years, and even a slight regression would still make them two of the most productive players in the league. The D-backs added Madison Bumgarner to lead the rotation after trading Zack Greinke…

Let's get right to it: Not much is expected from the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. After a late-season collapse that cost them a playoff spot last year, the D-backs lost several of their top players to free agency (A.J. Pollock, Patrick Corbin) or via trade (Paul Goldschmidt) in the offseason. Most experts believe this year's squad will finish…

The Toronto Blue Jays will attempt a four-game sweep as they meet the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim on Sunday afternoon. It's time to continue our MLB odds coverage with a Blue Jays-Angels prediction and pick. The Blue Jays defeated the Angels 6-5. It was a see-saw affair as four lead changes throughout the game concluded with a Toronto win. It was…

With advantages on the mound against a 42-year-old Rich Hill, as well as at the plate, our MLB betting picks like the Halos to close the series strong. The Los Angeles Angels and Boston Red Sox wrap up a three-game set at Fenway Park on Thursday afternoon. These…
