Los Angeles Angels vs Cleveland Guardians. The MLB pick for this game is the Cleveland Guardians. Anderson did not resemble the pitcher he was with the Dodgers a season ago in the least.

He has a 15-5 record this year, a 2.57 ERA, a 1.002 WHIP, 34 walks, and 138 strikeouts in 178.2 innings pitched, and he already gave out 21 free passes.

Although he already gave up six home runs this season, he permitted just 14 last year. Despite his dismal stats, his FIP ERA indicates that he has really been lucky, coming in at 6.06 this year.

The Angels have the advantage offensively, but as we saw frequently this season, it’s hard to put much trust in a club with bad pitching. Cleveland will win to a predicted score of 6-4.
