T.M. Selection: LA Angels.

I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The Angels are in the middle of a huge slump, losing 11 games in a row and they haven't looked all that great during this time but this team is a lot better than the way they have been playing and I think they are going to bounce back here. They finally got their offense rolling yesterday when they put up 7 runs on the Phillies, but they blew a 5 run lead in that game and went on to lose it late with a bullpen implosion. They showed signs of life though and I think being back in their ballpark for this series, they are going to play much better and break out of their funk here. The Red Sox have won 4 games in a row now and they just swept their series against the A's over the weekend but they have been really up and down this year and I expect the Angels to get a much needed win here. Noah Syndergaard (4-3, 4.02 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he had a great start to the year but has looked shaky in his starts lately. He has given up 10 runs in his previous 3 starts but I expect him to bounce back here and get back to the way he was pitching to start the year. Michael Wacha (3-1, 2.43 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has looked great this year but lately he has also looked shaky and I think he has been playing a bit better than he actually is so far. I see him getting hit here by an offense that is starting to wake up and I expect the Angels to get a win after a long slump here. I like the Angels to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Angels.
