Dodgers, Angels and mlb predictons.
I decided now that the dodgers have a 4 game winning streak, beating the Washington Nationals And that the Angels are keeping pace with Seattle and Houston, now would be a good time to defend my bold prediction of a freeway series.
As you know the dodgers previous to the 4 game winning streak, were falling apart and were in last place for a few days. I think now the dodgers have woken up, what i see is a better starting staff. Wood was good yesterday, stripling was excellent in the 2nd game vs Washington and of course Buehler was great in that combined no hitter vs San Diego. Yes ryu and Maeda injured doesn’t make things easy after ryu was very effective, of course hill going down with a blister was not easy either. And Hopefully Kershaw can come back . The hitting however for the dodgers had been great, but up until the Washington Series, they were getting men on and not scoring. I think Roberts has turned it around and i think they can comeback, i see a repeat 104 victory season. Of course the division is also improved so Colorado , Arizona and San Francisco won’t go away, but i still think when push comes to shove the Dodgers will have all the pieces working.
The Angels on the other hand have been playing great, even wity injuries to Middleton, and Kinsler and Ohtani a few weeks back, both came back and have been pretty good. Moldanado and cozart have been good, the relief pitching is the big question mark. Bedrosian , rameirez , and paredes have certainly made you shake your head, and Jim Johnson by no means is not Kanley Jansen. But. The Starting staff which includes Heaney, Richards, skaggs and Ohtani give you a chance to win and keep you in the game for six innings at least. I think the thing that benefits the Angels is the rest of the division is pretty mediocre in terms of Oakland, Seattle and Texas. The defending world champion Houston Astros are of course a threat and many think they will repeat but i think Houston is having the same year the cubs had in 2017, they will get to the postseason, but i think the angels can muster a slightly better record.
