Angels vs Padres
Halo hopes fade as Friars swing for a clean sweep

Angels (16-22) VS Padres (25-13)
May 12, 2025 | 9:40 PM ET | Petco Park, San Diego

San Diego enters this one in top form, riding a 7-3 run and taking full advantage of a favourable stretch in the schedule. The Angels, meanwhile, are reeling from a poor run of form and still managing key injuries, particularly in the infield and bullpen. L.A. turns to a left-handed starter who has struggled in past meetings with this lineup, while San Diego’s deep offense continues to punish southpaws.
Even if the Padres need to adjust their rotation, their bullpen remains one of the most reliable in baseball, a stark contrast to an Angels relief corps near the bottom of the league in ERA. With a comfortable lead in the division and a healthy roster, San Diego looks well-positioned to control this game. The chalk is worth laying in a matchup this lopsided.

San Diego enters this matchup riding great form, while the Angels continue to struggle, dropping three of their last four and still dealing with key absences in both the lineup and rotation. The Padres also face rotation questions as one of their top arms is out, potentially putting more stress on the bullpen. With both bullpens taxed by recent extra-inning games and Petco Park playing more hitter-friendly under warming conditions, run production could come from both sides.
Given that both offenses rank among the league’s best in generating hard contact, and with limited late-inning reliability on either side, the total appears low. A high-scoring game looks likely, making the Over the sharp play.

The Padres enter this one on a 7-3 run, but recent bullpen shakiness has made some of those victories closer than they should’ve been. Meanwhile, the Angels arrive in the midst of 4-6 run, still managing key absences, but with enough run production to counterbalance the tough matchup. San Diego’s offense loses some punch due to injury, and the bullpen has been unreliable lately, creating potential for late-game swings.
With both teams dealing with lineup limitations and Petco Park likely to keep scoring in check, this sets up as a tighter contest than the records might suggest. Taking the Angels with the +1.5 cushion offers solid value, especially given the disparity in recent bullpen performance.
