Coming off an extra-inning win over the Athletics, the Los Angeles Angels will attempt to establish a win streak on Monday when they play host to the Cincinnati Reds at Angel Stadium.

The Angels prevented a sweep against the Athletics as Zach Neto belted a solo homer to cap the Angels’ six-run blast in the 10th inning of an 11-5 win. Jo Adell, who pulled off a three-run homer in the first inning, drove in another run with a single in the 10th inning to finish with a game-high 4 RBIs. Los Angeles is averaging 5.8 runs per game on a .237 BA in their last five games. Unfortunately, poor pitching numbers (6.60 ERA in the last five games) continue to hound this team, costing them the chance to compete for an American wild card spot.

On the other hand, the Reds are aiming to win their 9th straight against the Angels. At 65-60, Cincinnati is in the thick of the battle for a wild-card spot in the National League. The Reds snapped the Brewers’ 14-game win streak behind a clutch hit by Austin Hays in the 10th inning. Averaging 6.0 runs per game and pitching a 2.44 ERA in their last five games, the Reds are in a terrific position to deal heavy damage in this three-game showpiece with the Angels.

Our Los Angeles Angels vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

The Reds are a no-brainer pick to win Game 1 and the series. They have won the last 8 meetings with the Angels, and are starting a pitcher who is coming off a near-flawless start. Brady Singer is 3-2 with a 4.26 ERA in his last five starts. And while Cincinnati’s bullpen is giving up a 5.31 ERA in their last five games, the starters are stymying teams with a 2.44 ERA in the stretch.

As for the Angels, they have tapped relief pitcher Victor Maderos to start on Monday. Maderos allowed three runs and three hits over four innings in his August 12 start against the Dodgers. The Angels won the game 7-6.

The Angels are always an exciting team to watch because of their electric offense and hustle plays. However, until they find a permanent fix to their pitching woes, this team will never reach its true potential. On the other hand, the Reds are determined to make one final push for a potential postseason qualification. This team understands the importance of every game left on its schedule. The Angels will always be harder to beat on their home field, but the Reds boasts the offensive firepower and pitching might to sustain their dominance over them.
