Final Betting Pick

The Tigers are a solid choice for the money line at -177. Their strong home record of 13-3 shows they perform well on their own field. The Tigers’ overall season record of 21-12 further supports their ability to win, especially against a team like the Angels, who have a struggling 12-19 record.

For the over/under prediction, choosing over 8.0 (-112) seems reasonable. Both teams have shown they can hit home runs, with the Angels ranking 5th in home runs. However, the Angels’ pitching has been weak, with a 5.22 ERA and a high WHIP of 1.50, which could lead to more runs scored by the Tigers. This combination makes a high-scoring game likely.
