In Friday's win, Matt Vierling hit his first home run of the season as a pinch hitter, providing the winning runs for the team.

Angels Poised for Victory Against Struggling Tigers Behind Strong Hitting and Pitching

This upcoming game presents a favorable opportunity to support the underdog team, the Angels, as they are poised to secure a victory against the Tigers on Sunday. Casey Mize, the designated pitcher for the Tigers, has been struggling with a high number of runs allowed in his recent performances. In his last four games, Mize conceded six runs against the Mariners, four runs against the Pirates, and three runs against the Twins. The Angels, on the other hand, have demonstrated strong hitting capabilities, with key players such as Neto, Trout, Ward, and Adell in good health and capable of hitting home runs. With recent victories under their belt, including two wins with Kochanowicz as the pitcher, the Angels are positioned to secure another win in this match-up. Considering these factors, it is advisable to place your bet on the Angels for this game.
