T.M. Selection: Los Angeles Angels - Moneyline (Line Parameter: play until -125)

Proj Starters - Shohei Ohtani (7-3, 3.02 ERA) vs. Joe Musgrove (6-2, 3.80 ERA)

I like the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to win this game against the San Diego Padres on July 4th. It's Independence Day and I'm all over the best game on today's slate. Two dominant pitchers will go head to head in a huge game. Although I expect the Padres to turn on the jets in the second half of the season, they still aren't showing any signs of that quite yet. The Angels have been very solid throughout the year and they've been dominant with Shohei on the mound. The Japanese superstar may go down in history as the best to ever play the game. What he's doing this season is out of this world. Expect a massive game from Ohtani on both sides of the ball here today on this huge day. Grab the Angels as a slight underdog.

T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Angels.
