Tigers vs Angels Preview

The Detroit Tigers will visit the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. This game is scheduled for Sunday, May 4, 2025, at 4:07 PM. Fans will enjoy a night game under the lights as these teams meet.

Reese Olson will take the mound for the Tigers. He has a 3-2 record this season with a 3.54 ERA over 33 innings. Jack Kochanowicz will pitch for the Angels. He has a 1-4 record and a 5.29 ERA in 32 1/3 innings. Both pitchers will aim to help their teams win.

Angels’ Home Game Outlook

The Los Angeles Angels are dealing with a setback as Mike Trout is out with a knee contusion. Trout leads the team in home runs, runs, and RBIs, making his absence significant. Jorge Soler and Logan O’Hoppe will need to step up in Trout’s absence. Soler has been solid with six home runs and 13 RBIs. O’Hoppe has matched Trout’s home run total and is second on the team in RBIs. Their performances will be key to keeping the Angels’ offense competitive. On the mound, Jack Kochanowicz will start for the Angels. He has a 1-4 record with a 5.29 ERA this season. Improvement in his performance could help the Angels, who rank low in several pitching categories.

Detroit Tigers Ready for the Road

The Detroit Tigers have some strong hitters in their lineup. Spencer Torkelson leads the team with a .233 batting average, 10 home runs, and 27 RBIs. Riley Greene and Zach McKinstry also contribute with solid numbers. Greene has 8 home runs, while McKinstry boasts a .302 average. Reese Olson will start on the mound for the Tigers. Olson has a 3-2 record this season with a 3.54 ERA. He has 32 strikeouts in 33 innings pitched. Olson’s performance will be important against the Angels’ lineup. The Tigers have strong team stats this season. They rank 9th in batting average and 3rd in team ERA. Their pitching has allowed only 33 home runs, ranking 7th in the league. These stats show the Tigers’ balance between hitting and pitching.

Final Betting Pick

The Tigers have a strong home record, winning 13 of 16 games. This gives them an edge against the Angels, who have struggled with a 7-13 road record. Missing Mike Trout, the Angels’ offense may find it hard to score against the Tigers’ pitching staff, which ranks high in ERA and WHIP.

Reese Olson, the Tigers’ starting pitcher, has a solid ERA of 3.54 and a WHIP of 1.24. This suggests he can limit the Angels’ scoring. Meanwhile, Jack Kochanowicz of the Angels has a higher ERA of 5.29, which might give the Tigers’ hitters more chances to score. With these factors, the under 8.5 total runs looks like a good pick.
