The Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Angels meet Sunday in MLB action from Angel Stadium. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Angels prediction.
The Philadelphia Phillies will send out Zack Wheeler for the start here and Wheeler is 10-5 with a 3.40 ERA and 148 strikeouts this season. Yusei Kikuchi will start for the Angels and is 0-4 with a 6.25 ERA and 37 strikeouts this season.
The Philadelphia Phillies come into this game looking to add on to their 4-2 win over the Angels last time out to sit at 76-60 this season. After this series, the Phillies will head on the road for a set against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Kyle Schwarber has 116 hits with 16 doubles, 40 home runs and 81 RBIs. Brandon Marsh has 126 hits with 18 doubles, 17 home runs and 55 RBIs while Justin Crawford also has 96 hits with 17 doubles, 4 triples, 2 home runs and 34 RBIs. Trea Turner has 127 hits with 22 doubles, 17 home runs and 49 RBIs and Bryce Harper’s added 125 hits with 26 doubles, 27 home runs and 77 RBIs this season.
The Los Angeles Angels come into this game looking to bounce back from their loss at the hands of Philadelphia on Saturday to fall to 52-84 on the year. After this series, the Angels will take on the New York Yankees in a series at home.
Nolan Schanuel has 108 hits with 22 doubles, 7 homers and 49 RBIs while Mike Trout’s added 100 hits with 20 doubles, 20 home runs and 47 RBIs this season. Zach Neto’s also added 123 hits with 27 doubles, 4 triples, 22 homers and 64 RBIs as well this season. Oswald Peraza has 68 hits with 12 doubles, 7 home runs and 24 RBIs and Jorge Soler has 64 hits with 16 doubles, 12 home runs and 49 RBIs as well this season.
I’m backing the Phillies in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game. However, while Sanchez hasn’t been as sharp on the road this season, he’s still the far better option and in this lefty-lefty matchup here, I’m trusting this Phillies lineup as they’ve been better against lefties than the Angels over the last month. I’ll back the Phils here.
