(MLB) LA Angels vs. Atlanta, 07/24/2022 1:35 PM, Score: 9 - 1
Point Spread: -1.50 | 105.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5.

I like the Atlanta Braves runline in this game against the LA Angels on Sunday. The Braves sit just 1.5 games back of the Mets for 1st place in their division and I expect them to sweep the Angels in their own ballpark here. They are highly motivated to overtake the Mets and they have been hot since the All Star break, winning both games over the Angels by multiple runs and putting up 7+ in both games while giving up very little. The Angels have been terrible for a majority of the year now but they were playing really badly going into the All Star break, and haven't been any better coming out of it with their 2 losses. Their offense was struggling before the break, putting up 2 runs or less in 3 games in a row, and they have done the same in these 2 games now, making it 5 games in a row where they offense has looked terrible. I think they are going to struggle to put up runs on the Braves here with how well their pitching has been lately, and I see the Braves continuing to put up runs on the Angels here like they have been doing. Ian Anderson (8-5, 4.79 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he hasn't looked great in a lot of his starts this year but he has been getting a lot better in his most recent starts lately. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in any of his 3 most recent starts and I expect him to keep that up here since he has started to find his groove. Reid Detmers (2-3, 4.11 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he hasn't been good all year, struggling in his most recent starts too. He hasn't looked bad in his 2 most recent starts, but he ended June with 2 really bad starts and he has been up and down like that all year. I think he is going to give up a ton of runs here with the way this Braves lineup has been hitting lately, and I see Anderson shutting down the Angels lineup here. I like the Braves runline in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves.
