Angels vs Rays MLB Betting Preview
Shane McClanahan has been scorching, recording a 2.25 ERA and 1.04 WHIP across his first 10 outings this season.
The big difference? He’s finally healthy after two years of dealing with injuries (including an elbow nerve issue, among others). From 2021 through 2023, McClanahan recorded a sub-3.40 ERA, performing like one of baseball’s best arms.
Meanwhile, Jack Kochanowicz hasn’t had the same luck, pitching ot a 4.99 ERA across his first 11 starts. He’s spiraled out of control, allowing 20 earned runs over his past 22 frames.
Angels vs Rays Pick, Betting Analysis
Tampa has a huge pitching advantage on Sunday. McClanahan should continue his red-hot form.
Pick: Rays F5 -0.5 (-138, FanDuel)
