Angels vs Padres

Fireworks expected, but Friars hold the lighter.

Los Angeles Angels

Angels (16-23) VS Padres (25-14)

13 May 2025 | 9:40 p.m. ET | Petco Park, San Diego

San Diego Padres
Moneyline Pick - San Diego Padres (-205): A-

San Diego enters this matchup in good form, winning six of their last ten, while the Angels arrive reeling from a seven loss streak to end April and start May. The Padres hold a clear edge both at the plate and on the mound, with a lineup well-positioned against a starter who’s struggled against this roster. Their starter has already dominated this opponent once and should benefit again from a park that dampens power-heavy lineups like Los Angeles.

Even with a high price, San Diego’s consistency at home as a favorite makes this a sound play. The matchup, recent form, and roster health all point toward the home team covering comfortably.

Over/Under Pick - Under 7.5 (-110): B

San Diego enters this matchup riding strong pitching form, while the Angels arrive short-handed and looking to snap a slump. Both starters bring swing-and-miss stuff and recent control, and although Los Angeles' bullpen has quietly improved, the overall offensive firepower on both sides is limited by a ballpark known for suppressing runs—especially once the evening marine layer sets in.

Given the combination of sharp starting arms, cooled bats in key spots, and pitcher-friendly conditions, this game leans clearly toward a low-scoring outcome. The under on eight offers dependable value without being bulletproof—just one big inning could change the narrative, but the setup justifies a steady, measured play.

Spread Pick - Los Angeles Angels, +1.5 (-130): B

The Angels arrive looking to halt a modest slump but have consistently kept games tight, covering the run line in four of their last six. San Diego returns home with questions looming around a rotation stretched further by a key injury, and a bullpen that’s already seen heavy use. With both lineups missing full health and the Padres easing off the throttle amid an early division lead, the door remains open for a competitive showing from the visitors.

With a relatively inexperienced starter on the mound for San Diego and a quietly effective bullpen supporting the Angels, taking the +1.5 cushion offers more value than chasing a wide-margin win from a team not fully clicking.
