Prediction for LA Angels vs. LA Dodgers

The LA Angels are hard to support these days, especially against above-average teams, and Griffin Canning doesn’t exactly make them more attractive. Bobby Miller has been awful in limited innings, but that doesn’t matter. The Dodgers still find ways to win games, and they should have an easy time with an Angels team that’s counting down the days until the offseason. The Dodgers are chasing the best record in baseball.
