Our Cleveland Guardians vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction
Upset Alert: Behind another stellar showing from Walbert Urena, the Angels will grind out a hard-earned win in Game 2, snapping their three-game losing streak against the Guardians. Urena (1-3, 3.22 ERA) has allowed only one run in back-to-back starts, lowering his ERA to 3.48 over 5 innings over his last five starts. Urena is expected to gain the upper hand in his duel with Guardians RHP Slade Cecconi (2-3, 6.15 ERA), who has surrendered 18 earned runs over his last four starts. Cecconi bungled up with seven earned runs in his first start against the Angels on June 12, 2024, and yielded five earned runs in the second run-in with Los Angeles on May 31, 2025.
Best Pick: Go for the Angels at +118. As discussed above, Urena is oozing with confidence coming into his start against the Guardians. He should help the Angels establish an early lead with some assists from the batters. Los Angeles isn’t scoring much this season, but they average 1.2 home runs and sport a decent .310 OBP this season. It all just takes one big swing from any of their heavy hitters, including Mike Trout, to change the complexion of this game.
Our betting prediction for the Los Angeles Angels vs. the Cleveland Guardians: The Angels will win.
