Another Angels vs Royals game.  The Royals pounded on the Angels in Game 1: 7-0… You have to remember that these are both awful teams.  These kind of results may make you want to keep betting on the Royals since you won that bet (as predicted here) on the moneyline.  On Wednesday night you have another chance.  You also get the big belly laugh that the Angels are starting a pitcher named “Jason JUNK”.   The Angels are literally starting junk… but you have to remember with games like these (both teams bad) that the pitching matchup and a stray couple of hits can make all the difference… so lets look at the numbers and bet the prediction below.

A battle of the worst we can find in the worst of places.  The Los Angeles Angels are a staggering disappointment in the Al West… The Kansas City Royals are a staggering disappointment in the AL Central… These American League disappointments have been disappointing for over a decade (both of them).  We hate teams like these.  We hate the owners of teams like this.  If you love baseball you hate, hate, hate these teams and owners and their cities.  They stink, they are trash, they are garbage, I can not find the words!!  However… When you bet on baseball you love the accuracy of their terrible numbers… and how there will be little to no surprises,  and how statistically the pitching matchup will really decide the outcome… and how the money will hit your online account very reliably.

The Los Angeles Angels have won 1 of their last 10 games. The Angels stink.  The Angels’ owner stinks and all the rumors among sportswriters is that the Angels players have quit.  They went 0-2 against the Atlanta Braves, 0-2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, 1-2 against the Houston Astros, and 0-3 against the Baltimore Orioles.  A long streak of players like Ohtani, Trout, and Rendon just waiting to be traded to a contender.  

The Kansas City Royals have won 5 of their last 10 games.  They went 1-1 against the Tampa Bay Rays, 1-3 against the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-1 against the Detroit Tigers.  The Tigers are another very bad team and this Royals’ squad was able to land 3 wins off them… otherwise this stretch of games would have been as tragic as their season.

The Angels are 6-30 (-21.4 Units) as an underdog of +100 or higher.

The Royals are 566-522 (-59.2 units) when the moneyline is -100 top -150

Angels: CF Mike Trout (ribs) Out ** SS D. Fletcher (groin) Out ** 3B M. Duffy (back) Out ** 3B A. Rendon (wrist) Out 

Tigers:  CF E. Olivares (quadriceps) Out ** CF M. Taylor (shoulder) Out ** C S Perez (thumb) OUT ** S A. Mondesi (knee) Out

Angels: RHP Janson JUNK, 0-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 strikeout in 1 inning pitched.  1.00 WHIP.  This 26 year old is so green and raw… and has such an awful baseball name!... That he is now my favorite.  His ceiling is like everyone else’s at the moment… Hall of Fame… He just hasn’t done any of it yet.  I believe in JUNK.

Royals: RHP Brad Keller, 5-10, 4.16 ERA, 68 strikeouts in 101 innings pitched.  1.31 WHIP.  The Royals have decided to counter JUNK with Keller… the numbers on Keller are bad…. Losing for his career numbers… rarely strikes guys out.  Bad WHIP.

Angels: DH Shoehei Ohtani,, LF Taylor Ward, 2B Luis Refugio, 1B Jared Walsh, RF Jonathan Villar, Cf Brandon Marsh, C Max Stassi, SS Andrew Valazquez, PH Michael Stefanic

Royals: C MJ Melendez, SS Bobby Witt JR, LF Andrew Benitendi, RF Hunter Dozier, DH Vinnie Pasquantino, 2B Whit Merrifield, 1B Nick Pratto, CF Kyle Isabel, 3B Nicky Lopez

Angels: Phil “what’s going on fellas?’ Nevin

Royals: Mike “It’s not gas” Matheny

Cloudy, 86* Precipitation 20%, Humidity 73% (because of all the water in the air), wind 6 mph.  The rain is behind us… but the awful baseball will be on full display.  The humidity will knock down a few pop-ups…. Enjoy a beer and a hot dog… Then take your Pepcid and check DraftKings.
