Why Bet The Angels:
✅ The Angels are winners of three straight games as they took three of the four games over the Seattle Mariners over the weekend. The Angels are only 2-5 at home this month, but those contests were against the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox, so it is understandable that they struggled.
✅ The Angels have dominated the Royals in recent history, winning seven of the last 10 meetings between these teams. That includes going 4-2 in 2021 and 3-1 in 2019. These teams did not square off in 2020
