And did so unexpectedly! After all, the team under Joe Maddon had a great start to the season and at one point was even ahead of the Houston Astros, sitting first in the American League West Division. But then a losing streak followed, which has now reached 14 games.
The third game of the series against Boston was identical to the first game of the showdown. Both games ended 0-1. Considering that the Angels have several top-notch hitters on their roster, there's no other explanation for their failure than the team's poor mental state.
Shohei Ohtani, last season's MVP, will pitch for the Angels in this game. The pitcher is 3-4 and has a 3.99 ERA in nine starts in the 2022 championship.
Boston comes alive
Alex Cora's team had a poor start to the championship, falling behind the American League East Division leaders, the New York Yankees, Toronto, and Tampa Bay. Recently, however, the Red Sox have begun to catch up. Three straight wins over the Los Angeles Angels is only a part to that. Prior to that, Boston had beaten Oakland three times and traded wins with Cincinnati. Overall, the Red Sox are already 30-27 and sixth in the American League standings.
Boston's starting pitcher for the upcoming game is Nick Pivetta, who is 5-4 and has a 3.50 ERA in 11 starts this season.
Head-to-head encounters
The score in the season series is 4-2 in favor of Boston. The upcoming match is the final game for the rivals in the championship series 2022.
Expert Betting Tips
As after the first game, which ended with a score of 1-0, the rivals played effectively in the second game. And now after 1-0, we are also waiting for the high-scoring match. Moreover, starting pitchers Ohtani and Pivetta are not reliable this season.
Also, we can consider betting on a Los Angeles Angels win. Should Mike Trout and company win at some point? 0-4 at home from Boston would be a bit much for the Angels.
Prediction: Los Angeles Angels will win in a high-scoring match.
