MLB Picks June 12: Rangers Host Angels in AL West Clash
The MLB season is about a month away from the All-Star break and it’s not too early for teams to make a push towards playoff contention. There are several games scheduled for Monday, June 12 with the Angels and Rangers headlining the action.
Colorado Rockies vs. Boston Red Sox: A Clash of Struggling Teams
Lately, both the Colorado Rockies and the Boston Red Sox have been facing challenges on the baseball field. The Rockies have had a rough time, going 2-4 in their last six games and appearing “ice cold” according to the Team Strength Oscillator. Similarly, the Red Sox haven’t been faring well either, with a disappointing 1-5 record and a “dead” ranking on the Team Strength Oscillator.
However, when we look at the Power Ranks Indicator, the Red Sox hold a slight advantage with a +11 to +3 edge. Interestingly, these teams have been trending in opposite directions when it comes to the “over/under” line, and according to the Score Predictor, the Red Sox are favored to win with a 6-4 score and 51 percent confidence. While Colorado has shown more stability in terms of their favorite/underdog status, personally, I lean towards the Red Sox winning at home, although I would pass on making any bets regarding the over/under.
San Francisco Giants vs. St. Louis Cardinals: A Tale of Contrasting Trajectories
When it comes to the San Francisco Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals, these two teams have been heading in opposite directions. The Giants have been on fire, impressively marked as “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator, while the Cardinals, unfortunately, are “dead up.” The Power Ranks Indicator also supports the Giants’ dominance, showing a significant +18 to +1 edge. Both teams have been trending towards games that end “under” the line, and the Score Predictor predicts a commanding 10-5 victory for the Giants with an impressive 79 percent confidence. It’s worth noting that the Giants have already won three out of the four games played against the Cardinals this season. On the other hand, the Cardinals have shown volatility, receiving a -5 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. Given these factors, I am inclined to believe that the Giants will come out on top in a game that surpasses the over/under line.
Los Angeles Angels vs. Texas Rangers: An AL West Showdown
In this clash between the Los Angeles Angels and the Texas Rangers in the AL West, both teams have been showcasing excellent baseball skills. The Angels have been on a four-game winning streak, setting themselves ablaze as a “burning hot” team, while the Rangers, after going 5-1 in their last six games, find themselves “burning hot down.” Looking at their recent performance, both teams have been evenly matched in terms of the over/under line over the past 12 games. However, according to the Score Predictor, the Rangers are favored to win with a score of 6-2 and an impressive 72 percent confidence level. Taking a look at the Power Ranks Indicator, the Rangers hold a +29 to +19 advantage, along with a +15 to +7 edge on the Team Volatility Oscillator. So far this season, the Rangers have won two out of three games against the Angels. Considering these trends, I believe the Rangers will continue their success, although I would refrain from making any over/under bets.
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks: Clash of the Hot Teams
The Philadelphia Phillies enter the matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks on a five-game winning streak, while the Diamondbacks have gone 4-2 in their last six games. Both teams have been sizzling on the Team Strength Oscillator, marked as “burning hot.” Additionally, the Diamondbacks hold a +23 to +17 advantage on the Power Ranks Indicator. Interestingly, these teams have been leaning towards opposite sides of the “over/under” line. According to the Score Predictor, the Diamondbacks have a slight edge with a 5-4 margin, but the confidence level is only at 34 percent. It’s worth noting that the Diamondbacks previously won two out of three games in Philadelphia at the end of May. However, my personal prediction is that the Phillies will turn the tables this weekend, winning in a game that exceeds the over/under line.
Miami Marlins vs. Seattle Mariners: A Battle of Streaks
The Miami Marlins come into this game as one of the hottest teams in the league, having won their last six games. On the other hand, the Seattle Mariners have struggled, going 2-4 in their last six games and earning the “ice cold down” ranking on the Team Strength Oscillator. When we consider the Power Ranks Indicator, the Marlins hold a commanding +26 to +9 advantage. In terms of the over/under line, these teams have been involved in games that exceed the line in seven out of their last 12 games. According to the Score Predictor, the Marlins are predicted to win with a 7-3 score and an impressive 76 percent confidence level. Both teams have shown consistency in terms of their favorite/underdog status, with the Marlins at +8 and the Mariners at +7 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. Based on these factors, I believe the Marlins will continue their hot streak in a game that surpasses the over/under line.
