Detroit Tigers vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/27/24, 7:41 PM  by Will Chace | Modified on 6/27/24 at 7:42 PM in MLB Picks

The Los Angeles Angels host the Detroit Tigers on Friday night in an American League scrap. This is their first meeting in 2024. Curiously, the two sides played home-and-home series last year with the road team sweeping in both scenarios. A continuation of that trend would bode well for the visiting Tigers, who have traded wins and losses on seven consecutive occasions now. The Angels, led by Zach Plesac on Friday, are winners of their last 3 games after sweeping fellow Californian-based ballclub Oakland. Plesac was called up from Triple-A action on June 17, pitching twice so far. Those outings have been far from ideal for the Angels, giving up 9 runs in 9.1 innings and just two strikeouts. Kenta Maeda will get the start for Detroit. Now 36 years old, Maeda is playing in his 17th season of professional baseball, dating back to his debut for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.
