Why The Angels Could Cover The Spread

Sandoval has been solid in his last two starts. He has thrown 12 1/3 innings, allowed just two earned runs on four hits, and struck out 12. Those outings have come against the San Diego Padres and New York Yankees. Neither of those teams hit too well, but the Tigers are not much better. Sandoval should be able to keep pitching well with this matchup in Detroit. The Angels will be to cover this spread if Sandoval can shut down the Tigers' offense.

Why The Tigers Could Cover The Spread

All eyes will be on Lorenzen in this game. With the trade dealine looming, the right-handed pitcher is most definitely on the trade block. Lorenzen has been unhittable in July. He has made three starts, and each start has resulted in a shutout win for the Tigers. Lorenzen has thrown 18 2/3 innings this month, allowed just eight hits, and struck out 14. He has yet to give up a run in July. He does not need to have another scoreless outing to win, but it would certainly help. Realistically, if Lorenzen can go deep into this game, give the bullpen a break, and give up two runs or less, the Tigers will cover this spread.

Final Angels-Tigers Prediction & Pick

With the way Lorenzen is pitching lately, the Tigers are bound to cover the spread each time he takes the mound. This could easily be his last start in Detroit, and I think it will be a good one. I expect the Tigers to cover the spread as Lorenzen pitches a gem against his old team.

Final Angels-Tigers Prediction & Pick: Tigers +1.5 (-172), Under 8 (+100)
