INDIANS VS ANGELS PREDICTION

The lineups are going to be a key part of this game because Trout is expected to sit out and Fletcher is questionable. The line will move depending on the lineups.  If Trout and Fletcher are out the Indians will move to the favorites but if they play you will see the Angels line get hit hard by the public. Heaney has had a few dominant games with 10+ strikeouts but he’s had some bad ones too. Heaney’s was banged around his last time out against the Astros and got jacked for multiple homers. Plesac has been tough his last 3 times out including 2 no-hit bids he took past the 6th inning in his last 2 starts. The Indians have lost 4 straight which is never a good thing but with Plesac on the mound and Heaney pitching it is a good spot for the offense to get going. The Angels bullpen is one of the worst in MLB so if the Indians can get to Heaney early, they will be cooked. Make sure you check the starting lineups before placing your wager and be ready when it is released. You can download the roto grinders app to get lineup notifications as well.
