Angels Preview

The Thursday MLB schedule will get underway with a matinee between the Los Angeles Angels and the Detroit Tigers from Comerica Park. Be ready for the baseball season with all of our MLB predictions. The Angels (21-35) have dropped 19 of their first 28 road games and are trying to climb out of the AL West Division cellar. Last night, Los Angeles batters managed just two singles during a 4-0 road loss against Detroit.

Twenty-six year old righty Grayson Rodriguez (1-1 10.61 ERA) will make his third start of the year for the Angels. Last time out, Rodriguez (5.2 IP) gave up four runs and fanned five batters during a 9-6 home victory versus Texas.

Tigers Preview

The Detroit Tigers are a game above .500 at home and are ten games out of first place in the AL Central Division. During Wednesday’s home victory, 1B Spencer Torkelson doubled twice and added a solo shot to power the Detroit offense. SP Casey Mize fired four shutout frames and fanned six batters for the Tigers, who improved to an underwhelming 22-34 overall.

Detroit skipper A.J. Hinch will turn to struggling right-hander Jack Flaherty (0-6 5.94 ERA) in the series finale. In his last start, Flaherty (3.1 IP) was knocked around for eight hits and six runs (3 ER) during a 7-4 road loss against Baltimore.
