Detroit Tigers (36-42) vs. Los Angeles Angels (31-46)
As MLB season moves forward, bettors searching for value in MLB picks and predictions should watch closely the Detroit Tigers-Los Angeles Angels matchup at Angel Stadium on June 29th at 10:07 PM ET. Both teams currently sit near the bottom of their respective divisions but have shown some hope with recent 3-2 records in five games – making for an exciting contest that bettors should pay attention to!
The Detroit Tigers have had a largely dismal season, managing just below .500 and failing to find consistent form. Their batting lineup has experienced considerable difficulties, highlighted by low team batting average of .231 and an on-base percentage of only .298, both statistics indicative of their difficulty creating offensive momentum and sustaining rallies. Yet their pitching staff has stood up well, posting an ERA of 3.85 with an excellent WHIP ratio of 1.21.
Los Angeles Angels have had more difficulty this season, evidenced by their disappointing 31-46 record. Although their team batting average of .236 slightly out-distances that of Tigers with 83 homers, these numbers have yet to result in winning results due to poor pitching performance; their pitchers’ team ERA was 4.73 with an unfavorable WHIP ratio (1.35). Their pitchers often put the Angels into difficult situations by allowing too many batters reach base and score runs.

Casey Mize (1-6, 4.54 ERA) vs. Griffin Canning (3-8, 4.72 ERA)
Casey Mize of the Detroit Tigers has endured a difficult season so far with an overall record of 1-6 and an ERA of 4.54. Despite these disappointing statistics, Mize has demonstrated his potential at times through his 56 strikeouts over 73.1 innings pitched – although his high WHIP of 1.49 and propensity for homers have contributed to his struggles this year. To maximize Mize’s potential performance against Angels pitchers who know how to capitalize on mistakes early and often.
Griffin Canning of the Los Angeles Angels enters this matchup with an improved 3-8 record and 4.72 ERA that reflect his struggles this season. Canning has pitched 87.2 innings with 59 strikeouts but has been susceptible to home runs, allowing 15 so far. Against Tigers pitchers however, Canning will need to manage game better; his 1.33 WHIP suggests he may limit baserunners better than his ERA may suggest; it will be key that Canning controls walks effectively as these have compounded his difficulties this season – even against relatively mild- hitters like Tigers this will test Canning in high pressure situations!
