Angels vs Red Sox Pick, Betting Analysis
The Red Sox are giving Brayan Bello another chance as a starter. I'm not sure why. He has a 10.35 ERA as a starter this season compared to a 2.03 ERA as a reliever. Bello gets a good matchup against a scuffling Angels squad, but they have a few lefties to throw at him.
Grayson Rodriguez has a 3.48 ERA since the start of August. His xERA is down to 2.86 in that stretch. Rodriguez's xFIP and SIERA are in the mid-3.00s. After struggling with control, Rodriguez has trimmed the walk rate to 8.6% over this 6-start span. His strikeout rate has jumped to 25.7%.
It's a difficult matchup against a strong Red Sox lineup, but it's less left-handed than it could've been since Nick Sogard is sitting.
Pick: First 5 Innings Angels +0.5 (-105)
