MLB Odds: Guardians-Angels prediction, odds and pick

Guardians have lost six straight games and are 7-11 on the season. They were swept by the Yankees and lost the first three games of the series in Anaheim. Angels have won six of eight games this season and have a winning record. Reid Detmers is looking to improve his 6.57 ERA in a trio of starts to open up 2022.

Cleveland Guardians are on a losing streak. They are averaging 2.17 runs per game and have a .558 OPS. In three games against the Angels, they have been outscored 16-6. The team is struggling on the field with a 3.93 ERA. Owen Miller is expected to return to the team after a five-game absence. He is hitting .450 with 1.300 OPS in 40 at-bats this year.

Mike Trout is back in action after a 10-day absence. Trout has been a force to reckon with since his return. He is 11-22 with three homers, three doubles, one triple, and seven RBIs since returning. On the season, Trout leads the Angels with a .365 batting average.

The Angels are the most prolific scoring team in the league with 95 runs crossing the plate in 19 games. The Angels will be looking for their second MLB victory. Detmers is making his fourth start of the season and is looking to get off to a good start. Last time the Angels played the Guardians a year ago, Detmer gave up ten baserunners in 3 1/3 innings.

Guardians are starting to play more competitively. Los Angeles can put up crooked numbers at a furious rate.
