The Marlins ended up losing two of three against the San Francisco Giants, and the Los Angeles Angels dropped three of four to the Houston Astros.

Let’s check the latest MLB picks, stats, injury reports, and MLB odds, for Marlins vs Angels. We’ve plenty of MLB predictions.

Will The Marlins Bats Continue To Struggle?

Considering the type of moves that the Miami Marlins made to better their lineup during the offseason, their opening series was certainly a disappointment. Miami only scored two runs in two of their three games and five in the other one.

Although Miami did not hit the way that many were expecting the Marlins to in the series, they have a good chance of getting back on track in this one because they will be facing off against Michael Lorenzen.

Lorenzen is a veteran in this league, but if the last few years are any indication of how he will perform, the Marlins should be able to get the bats going here. He finished 2021 with a 5.59 ERA, and a 1.38 WHIP in 29 Innings pitched.

Look for  Chisholm and a few other high-level hitters on the Marlins roster to put up a few runs in this one.

Same Old Angels?

Coming into the MLB season, fans were hoping that the Los Angeles Angels bullpen was going to be much better than it was a year ago. Unfortunately for those Angels’ fans, that was certainly not the case in their opening series.

They ended up losing three games in the later innings, which has been a major issue for them throughout the past few seasons.

Although going 1-3 in the opening series is never a good thing, the Angels actually showed some promise. Ohtani, Trout and others haven’t missed a beat.

The Angels will be facing off against Elieser Hernandez on Monday. The youngster has had arm issues throughout his career and has appeared in only 70 games throughout his four-year career. He finished the 2021 season with a 4.18 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP in 11 appearances.

Marlins vs Angels Head-to-Head

The Los Angeles Angels and the Miami Marlins have only met 15 times. The Angels currently hold a 9-6 series lead.

These two teams have not played since 2017, when the Marlins won the three-game series, 2-1.

Marlins vs Angels Prediction

The current MLB lines for this game has the Los Angeles Angels favored on the moneyline at -140 and the Miami Marlins as the underdog at +125. The over/under is 9½.

Because the Marlins are going to be getting plus odds in this one, they should be the play of the day regardless of if the odds do move even a little.

There are a few ways to look at this pick. A season ago, the Marlins were the worst team in baseball against right-handed pitching. They ended up striking out the most against right-handed pitching during the 2021 season with a rate of 27.5 percent.

However, with how bad Lorenzen has been the past few seasons, the Marlins should be able to get going against him. When also factoring in that the Los Angeles Angels used most of their bullpen during the weekend series against the Houston Astros, it makes this pick much more likely to cash.

The Marlins did not have a great first series with the bats, but the San Francisco Giants have a much better pitching staff than the Angels.

If the past few seasons are going to stay true about what the Angels are going to do, Miami should be able to walk away with the win inthe later innings of the game. When betting online, take the Miami Marlins.

Pick: Miami Marlins (+125)
