2025-06-28 | 9:38 PM ET | Angel Stadium, Anaheim CA

Los Angeles Angels
Moneyline Pick - Los Angeles Angels (-130): B

The Angels come into this matchup playing more confidently after a string of wins that has helped keep them hovering around the .500 mark and within reach of the Wild Card race. Their rotation has shown signs of improvement, with starters finding more swing-and-miss stuff and the bullpen doing enough to protect leads. The Nationals, meanwhile, are dealing with a lineup missing key contributors and have struggled to generate extra-base power, particularly on the road. This prediction leans on the broader pattern of Los Angeles using recent health improvements to stretch the order and take advantage of matchups against pitchers who haven’t fared well in this ballpark.

The pick leans toward backing the Angels on the moneyline because it feels like a bet that matches their current form and the added urgency of staying in the postseason conversation. Even if Washington can hang around early, the deeper lineup and steadier rotation tilt the balance toward the home side. In a game where every inning can swing momentum, the more complete roster offers the better chance to pull away late. This prediction gets a B grade.

Over/Under Pick - Over 9 (-110): B

The Angels and Nationals meet in a game that looks built for offence, with both clubs dealing with thin rotations and bullpens that have struggled to hold leads consistently. Los Angeles has shown the ability to put up runs at home, using a lineup that has benefited from returning hitters and more balanced production over the past two weeks. The Nationals, despite their recent skid, still find ways to generate scoring threats by being aggressive on the bases and taking advantage of pitching lapses late in games. This prediction leans on the broader pattern of both teams playing in high-scoring contests when forced into bullpen-heavy approaches.

The pick leans toward the Over because it feels like a bet that reflects how quickly innings can unravel when neither staff has a reliable stopper. With both lineups capable of creating traffic and two bullpens in the bottom third of the league in WHIP, there’s a strong chance this turns into a game where runs pile up steadily. Even if the starters keep things close early, the later innings are likely to see plenty of scoring chances. This prediction gets a B grade. Continue following us for more expert picks and bets.

Spread Pick - Washington Nationals, +1.5 (-190): B

The Angels and Nationals head into this matchup with neither rotation settled and both bullpens struggling to keep games under control. Los Angeles has been putting up steady offence at home, showing more consistency in recent weeks despite the pitching staff working through injuries and a revolving door of arms. Washington has remained aggressive on the bases, using speed to pressure opponents and create extra scoring chances late in games. This prediction leans on the broader pattern of both clubs playing in high-scoring environments when forced to rely on relievers early.

The pick leans toward the Over because it feels like a bet that fits the way these teams are built right now: plenty of opportunities for traffic on the bases, limited shutdown options in relief, and lineups capable of punishing mistakes. Even if the starters can keep things close for a few innings, there’s a strong likelihood the later frames open up as managers cycle through the bullpen. With both sides still clinging to postseason hopes, expect plenty of urgency at the plate and a total that pushes into double digits. This prediction gets a B grade.
