Total: 9.00 | -109.00 Over
Result: Push
Total: 9.00 | -109.00 Over
Result: Push
Matt Shoemaker has a history of pitching better during the second half of the season.The same with Jose Quintana although Quintana may not have that chance if he keeps pitching so poorly.
Quintana has a 16.50 ERA in five innings with seven walks. Quintana is facing a Twins offense that ranks in the top 9 in runs, batting average and OPS. Minnesota's offense should be even more potent with Josh Donaldson back in the lineup.
Shoemaker has a 4.09 ERA - and that's facing two weak offenses, Seattle and Detroit. The Angels rank in the top-five in runs, batting average and OPS. They've also hit the eighth-most homers in the majors.
The Over is 26-11-2 in the Angels' last 39 home games.
