  • What: MLB Regular Season Game
  • When: Saturday, June 22
  • Who: Los Angeles Angels vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
  • Tip-Off: 10:30 p.m. ET
  • Where: Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles, CA)

The Los Angeles Dodgers (47-31) aim to bounce back after a surprising loss in Game 1 against the Los Angeles Angels (30-45) with a final score of 3-2 in extra innings.

They are heavily favored to do so, with the Dodgers being -375 on the moneyline. According to MLB odds, a total of 8.5 has been set.

Los Angeles Dodgers

There is a significant difference in starting pitching caliber between Zach Plesac and Tyler Glasnow. I discuss the implications for the betting market in my Angels vs. Dodgers predictions and MLB picks for Saturday, June 22.

Friday’s game at Dodger Stadium was a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of baseball betting.

The Dodgers, riding a 10-game winning streak and boasting a dominant 17-3 record in their last 20 matchups against the Angels, appeared poised for another victory.

However, a turn of events saw the Angels secure a 3-2 win in 10 innings, dealing a blow to many betting tickets. This unexpected outcome serves as a warning to all bettors of the volatility inherent in baseball betting.

Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles team is entrusting right-hander Tyler Glasnow (7-5, 3.00 ERA) to prevent a home sweep.

Glasnow is seen as the Dodgers’ key player to halt the losing streak, and the team is counting on his solid performance.

On the other hand, the Angels will rely on righty Zach Plesac (1-0, 4.50 ERA) as they aim to clinch the series.

Despite their setback on Friday, the Dodgers are expected to rebound and showcase their offensive prowess in this game.

Angels-Dodgers Best Bet

While it seems fairly obvious that the Dodgers will win, I would target the total instead. I believe this will be a high-scoring game.

I would take over 8.5 runs in this one as I expect the Dodgers bats to light up the Angels.

Can the A’s win the series against the Twins?
