Atlanta Braves vs. Los Angeles Angels (9:07 PM ET)

Line: Atlanta Braves (+110) vs. Los Angeles Angels (-120); total: 8.0 – view all MLB lines

The Angels (26-27) go back home with the intent of getting to .500 again after dipping below the mark with a 9-2 loss in Miami on Sunday. They’ll host Atlanta for a three-game set beginning tonight with Ricky Nolasco (2-4, 4.37 ERA) taking the starting gig. Nolasco is having it rough this month, as he is 0-2 with a 4.60 ERA in five starts in May. The Braves are looking to capitalize on Nolasco’s struggles, as they give the ball to Julio Teheran. Teheran is 3-4 with a 4.88 ERA. He is especially bad at home, where he is 1-4 with an 8.40 ERA in six starts.

Writer’s Prediction

LA (-120) wins, 6-4.
