Angels and Phillies Play Afternoon Game Wednesday in South Philadelphia

Angels trying to get going out West

Los Angeles is trying to get things going in the AL West, playing to a 20-18 overall record so far this year. Pleasant surprise Garrett Richards will take the ball for the Angels today. He is 3-0 with a 2.80 ERA so far this season. He has helped the Angels stay afloat in the AL West despite his career numbers. He goes for his fourth win this afternoon against Philly.

Phillies an ugly team headed downhill

The Phillies are old, slow and ugly. Third baseman Cody Asche committed three errors in last night’s game, leading to four unearned runs charged to Cliff Lee. The Phils dropped the first of two against L.A. by a count of 4-3. Can they rebound and take an afternoon game at home? We really don’t think so. This team is definitely not built to contend this year and are very hard to watch. 

We head over to SportsBetting.ag to find the odds for this afternoon’s interleague contest between the Angels and Phillies in South Philadelphia. The Angels are favored despite being on the road, but this is not why we will back them. We like Los Angeles to win this game because they are the better team. Philadelphia has had flashes of strength, but are unlikely to contend. We will bet 15 percent of our bankroll on L.A. and the -111 money line today.
