The Angels won two of three against the Dodgers last week in Anaheim. <em style=\"font-weight: bold\"><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">The Los Angeles Dodgers are -162 over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday.<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Friday is a big day for the <strong>Dodgers;<\/strong> it\u2019s the first time all season they\u2019ve woken up alone in first place in the NL West. After a slow start, the Dodgers kicked it into another gear in June. They have continued their strong play in July, winning eight of their first 11 games, pushing them half a game above the <strong>Diamondbacks.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <strong>Angels<\/strong>, meanwhile, are barely clinging to hope that they can make a playoff push. Thursday\u2019s win over the Mariners keeps them two games over .500 but leaves them 10 games behind <strong>Seattle<\/strong> for the second wild-card spot. With over a dozen players on the DL, hope is slowly fading for the Angels in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"first-start-back\"><strong>First Start Back<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/sports\/dodgers\/la-sp-dodgers-report-20180710-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dodgers rookie <strong>Walker Buehler<\/strong> will return from the DL and get the start on Friday.<\/a> Buehler went to the DL a month ago with a microfracture in one of his ribs. He returned to make one relief appearance at the end of June but was knocked around for five runs in one inning of work. <strong>Buehler<\/strong> was immediately returned to the DL after that outing. This time around, Buehler made a rehab start, so the Dodgers should feel comfortable that he\u2019s ready to pitch in the majors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prior to the injury, <strong>Buehler<\/strong> was 4-1 with a 2.63 ERA across his first nine big league starts. This will be his first time facing any of the Angles hitters, including Mike Trout and a suddenly hot <strong>Albert<\/strong> <strong>Pujols<\/strong>. But aside from those two, no one in the Angels lineup is in particularly good form right now aside from their 11-run performance against the Seattle bullpen on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"filling-the-gaps\"><strong>Filling the Gaps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the <strong>Angels<\/strong> losing so many pitchers to injury this year, Felix Pena is helping to fill-in as a starter. Pena will make his fifth career start on <strong>Friday<\/strong> after pitching solely as a reliever in the majors up until a month ago. However, he\u2019s made 87 career starts in the minors. He\u2019s also posted a 2.75 <strong>ERA<\/strong> over his four starts with the Angels. Of course, he\u2019s not completely stretched out, so the most the Angels can expect of him is lasting five innings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Pena<\/strong> got the start against the <strong>Dodgers<\/strong> last Friday, giving up two runs on three hits over 5.1 innings while striking out eight. The Angels would lady take that kind of outing again, but that may be easier said than done. The <strong>Dodgers<\/strong> have enough good hitters to give Pena trouble, especially after they got a chance to see him last week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"rocking-the-halo\"><strong>Rocking the Halo<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Friday\u2019s game feels like a tossup. <strong>Buehler<\/strong> is a great talent, but he is also coming back from an injury. On the other hand, Pena is new to starting but looked good last week against the Dodgers. The deciding factor here is that the Angels held the Dodgers to just eight runs in three games last weekend while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2018\/07\/12\/albert-pujols-homers-twice-as-angels-clobber-mariners-11-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Halos<\/strong> are feeling good about their 11-run outburst on Thursday<\/a>. <\/span><em style=\"font-weight: bold\"><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet the Los Angeles Angels as the underdog over the Dodgers on Friday.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on Major League Baseball at MyBookie.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Interleague battle between the Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2763,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
