The 4-6 Angels (L10) have been badly bitten by the injury bug, and not just in the pitching department. They are dead last on offense over the last 2 weeks with a .208/.595 OPS line. Their runs for/against is an unimpressive 3.4/7.6, inflated especially by poor relief pitching. The Reds have had better offensive stretches but are still significantly better at .231/.696, and are look far more impressive at 4.0/2.9 in runs for/against. Giolito has had mixed results since joining the Angels with a short blow-out start followed by a pair of reasonable outings. His high OP BA in August is a concern. Reds' starter Ashcraft has been steady if unlucky in the wins department with a 2.86 ERA and .190 OP BA in August. The Rangers are favored today, but are sub-.500 as a home favorite, and outright poor in August. The Reds have a real shot at the playoffs this year. Take the Reds to win on the road.
