Despite a tough early-season schedule, the Angels are 6-6 and have won three of their last four games. Atlanta is 1-3 in its past four games. Angels starter Reid Detmers has the potential to be a breakout star. He has a 2.38 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 11.1 innings during his first two starts this year. Atlanta is pitching Grant Holmes. The third-year player has a lifetime mark of 6-11 with a 3.75 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. The Braves are 6–16 in the past two seasons when playing on the West Coast. They are 2-3 in their last five games against the Angels. The Angels are more dangerous when Mike Trout is healthy. So far, so good for Trout, who leads the Angels with a .412 OBP. Take the Angels.
