Angels vs Red Sox MLB Betting Preview, Expert Pick
The Red Sox will host the Angels on Wednesday evening in the last of a three-game homestand at Fenway Park in Boston. Jake Bennett will start for Boston, while Ryan Johnson will start for the Halos.
Suffice it to say, this pitching matchup heavily favors Boston.
Bennett has been borderline elite since joining the Red Sox rotation, churning out a 3.34 ERA and 1.02 WHIP across nearly 100 frames.
Meanwhile, Johnson has yet to figure it out at the Major League level, running a 5.17 ERA in 18 outings across 78 innings pitched. He should struggle against a Boston lineup that has been red-hot over the past two months.
Jarren Duran has faced Johnson twice before, and he’s 1-for-2 with a two-run home run — Jarren launched a low sinker, a pitch that Johnson throws around 20% of the time with low efficiency.
Opposing hitters are running a .510 xwOBA against that pitch, and I’m banking on Duran bashing another one in a Boston blowout on Wednesday.
Picks: Red Sox -1.5 (-103) | Jarren Duran Over 1.5 HRR (-122)
