AMEDEUS' MLB GOLD STRIKE!
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -135.00 Philadelphia (Away)
Result: Loss
The Phillies are coming into this game with a 19-10 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 4 straight as well as 11 of their last 13 games and they are coming off of a series sweep against the Padres in their last series. Their offense has been on fire in these games as well as they have scored at least 5 runs in each of their last 4 as well as at least 8 runs in 2 of their last 3 games. They are going up against an Angels team that is 10-18 this season and has been awful in their recent games. They have lost their last 4 straight as well as 9 of their last 10 games and they just got swept by the Twins in their last series as well. It is not going to be any easier for them in this game either as Griffin Canning is starting for the Angels and he is 1-3 with a 7.50 ERA this season. He has allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of his 5 starts this season as well as allowing at least 4 earned runs in 3 of his last 5 starts. The Phillies offense has been very hot coming into this game and with the way Canning has been pitching this season, he is going to give up a lot of runs here along with the Angels bullpen. Cristopher Sánchez is starting for the Phillies in this game and he is 1-3 with a 2.96 ERA this season. He has not allowed more than 3 earned runs in any of his 5 starts this season and he has allowed just 1 earned run in each of his last 3 starts as well. The team has not played well with his starting this season as they are 1-4 in the games he started in, but he has not been pitching poorly in his recent starts and with the way this Phillies offense is rolling right now, this is the perfect spot for Sanchez to get a win with Canning on the mound for the Angels. The Phillies will win this game.
