Angels vs. Reds Best Prop Bet
- Chase Burns 9+ Strikeouts (+108)
The Angels' biggest weakness this season has been their strikeout rate. They have struck out on 29.2% of their at-bats, which is the highest mark in the Majors. That could lead to Chase Burns racking up strikeouts on Friday night. He has struck out 16 batters through his first 11 innings pitched this season.
Angels vs. Reds Prediction and Pick
In today's edition of Walk-Off Wagers, I broke down why I trust the Angels as underdogs tonight:
I simply can't bet on the Reds as this big of a favorite considering how bad their offense has been so far this season. They have an OPS of just .617 and a wRC+ of 74, which is ranked last in the Majors through the first two weeks of the season. I'm also not convinced the Reds have a significant advantage on the mound. Chase Burns has had two great starts so far this season, but he had a 4.57 ERA with a 1.315 WHIP last season; some regression could be coming for him sooner rather than later.
The Angels outrank the Reds in virtually every offensive category, so I'll take a shot on them as significant road underdogs tonight.
