Los Angeles Angels at Baltimore Orioles Prediction

Heading into Sunday’s American League matchup between Los Angeles and Baltimore, I expect today’s game to play out much differently than yesterday’s 1-0 pitchers duel. Neither Jose Suarez or Austin Voth have had regular time as the starter, which should put extra stress on each team’s bullpen. I recommend taking the over at 9 runs.
