[sc:MLB240banner ]The Angels are known more this season for being a ferocious team at the plate. However, they’ve also been slowly developing into a nightmare on the mound since the All-Star break, having recorded a 2.52 ERA – the third lowest in the majors during that stretch. Furthermore, the Angels are 7-0 in Jered Weaver’s (11-6, 3.36 ERA) last seven starts.
He will be challenged by the Orioles, who’ll have Chris Tillman (7-5, 3.92 ERA) to duel with Weaver. The O’s have won in two of Tillman’s last three starts. They are also 7-3 in their last 10 games at Camden Yards.
Writer’s Prediction
The Angels open the series with a 6-3 victory over the O’s.
