Tigers vs Angels MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
This is a dream matchup for Troy Melton. The Tigers' breakout starter should continue his run of excellence tonight in Anaheim.
Melton's 1.82 ERA is very lucky with his 2.97 xERA, 3.91 xFIP, and 3.93 SIERA, but he dominates right-handed hitting.
- Melton vs RHH: 24.7% K-BB (0 walks allowed), 0.65 WHIP, 2.68 xFIP
- Melton vs LHH: 10.3% K-BB, 0.92 WHIP. 4.74 xFIP
The Angels' offense ranks 23rd against RHP and only has three lefties in their lineup, while their best hitters are all righties. Melton could have his best game of the season, even with Mike Trout back and healthy.
The Angels may not have the same luck with Reid Detmers. The early-season breakout is struggling lately. He has a 7.40 ERA, backed by a 6.18 xERA and a 4.47 xFIP in his past four starts. Detmers' season has been unlucky, but he is not giving himself room for positive regression.
Detroit's ninth-best 101 wRC+ against LHP could be enough to continue Detmers' run of poor outings.
Pick: Tigers Moneyline (-106, FanDuel)
