Today’s matchup is between the San Diego Padres (23-15) and the Los Angeles Angels (12-25). The Padres have won 3 of their last 5 games (2 Game Winning Streak) & the Angels have won 3 of their last 5 games (2 Game Losing Streak).
The Padres are starting Mike Clevinger (RHP) on the mound who is 1-1 on the season pitching a 3.18 ERA, 5.62 FIP, .345 wOBA, 88.7 MPH average exit velocity & a 1.70 WHIP in 30 innings pitched.
The Angels are starting Andrew Heaney (LHP), who is 2-1 with a 4.62 ERA, 2.77 FIP, .317 wOBA, 89.2 MPH average exit velocity & a 1.29 WHIP in 26.1 innings pitched.
On the hitting side the Padres have a .355 wOBA & a .343 OBP. The Angels have a .317 wOBA & a .324 OBP. The Padres have 67 HRs this season while the Angels have 51 HRs.
The Padres are much better at hitting than the Angels but the Angels have the better pitcher in Andrew Heaney. I expect this to be a close game and there will be value on backing the Angels moneyline so that's my pick.
