Matchup: Arizona Diamondbacks (Ryne Nelson RHP) at Los Angeles Angels (Tyler Anderson LHP)

Time: 9:38 PM EST

Moneyline: D-backs -132, Angels +109

Analysis:

This interleague matchup features a pitching battle between Ryne Nelson of the Diamondbacks and Tyler Anderson of the Angels. Nelson has shown flashes of potential this season, but consistency has been an issue. He’ll need to command his fastball and slider effectively to keep the Angels’ offense at bay.

Anderson, a veteran lefty, brings experience and a crafty approach to the mound. He relies on changing speeds and locating his pitches well. The Diamondbacks’ lineup can be susceptible to left-handed pitching, giving Anderson an advantage.

Considering the provided moneyline odds, the Diamondbacks are slight favorites. While both pitchers are capable, the Angels playing at home with Anderson on the mound gives them a slight edge.

Prediction:

This game has the potential to be a close, low-scoring affair. Given the home-field advantage and Anderson’s ability to handle left-handed hitters, I am leaning towards the Angels to win.

Pick: Angels +109
