Los Angeles Angels at Atlanta Braves Prediction

Heading into Sunday’s matchup between Los Angeles and Atlanta, the Braves are the favorite to come away with the home win. However, I recommend taking the Angels to pull off the upset, as Reid Detmers has pitched better than his overall record suggests. Throughout the season, the Los Angeles offense has failed to give Detmers proper run support. However, Atlanta starter Ian Anderson is prone to giving up walks, which could give the Angels a chance at a few big innings.
