The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have been winless in their last 5 games vs. the Cincinnati Reds. Will that trend continue for Friday’s series opener at Great American Ball Park? The LA Angels capped their four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays with a 1-2 loss, dropping them one game below .500 at 9-10 and 7-6 on the road. Statistically, the Angels are just about average in both batting and pitching departments. They have a .244/.313/.391 batting line with 85 runs while allowing a 4.45 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and .234 BAA through 18 games. The Reds desperately need a win to turn their season around after dropping all three games of their series against the Seattle Mariners. Cincinnati was tied with the Brewers for first place in the NL Central just a week ago, but after losing their most recent series, they fell to fourth place in their division with a 9-9 record. The Reds carry a .229/.306/.407 batting slash with 95 runs, which ranks 9th in the majors. Their pitching numbers of 4.29 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and .235 BAA aren’t eye-popping either, yet they are just 2.5 games behind the Brewers in the division standings.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction
Cincinnati has won their last five head-to-head games with the Angels, averaging 7.0 runs per game. The Reds have tapped Nick Lodolo to make his second start this season. The 26-year-old lefty wowed everybody in his season debut five days ago when he held the White Sox scoreless with 10 strikeouts in 5.2 innings. Baseball fans should expect another solid outing from Lodolo, who looks more and more like a big-impact pitcher on the Reds starting rotation. And while Mike Trout still has the power and skills to take over anytime, the Reds’ recent success over the Angels suggests they are just fine facing this team.
