Soni labeled Logan O’Hoppe the night’s top HR prop value at +450. The Angels catcher has erupted for 5 homers and 12 RBI over his last 8 games, slashing .375 with a 1.269 OPS. Statcast power indicators back it up: a 53.3% hard-hit rate and eye-popping 20% barrel rate per plate appearance. With Edward Cabrera’s 5.50 ERA on deck, Soni sees 'undeniable value' in betting O’Hoppe to go deep again.

Soni pushed Taylor Ward’s +400 homer prop, pointing to a torrid 12-game stretch (7 HR, 20 RBI, .375 AVG, 1.377 OPS). The Angels outfielder faces Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera (5.50 ERA) who has struggled to neutralize right-handed power. Ward’s 18 hits in his last 48 at-bats and balanced on-base skills make him, in Soni’s words, a 'prime threat to leave the yard' again tonight.

Austin Swaim’s favorite HR prop is Jorge Soler to go deep at +430. In 147 ABs versus righties, Soler owns a .761 OPS, .197 ISO, 42.2% fly-ball rate, and 82.4% medium-plus contact, and he homered last night. Cal Quantrill sits in the 30th percentile or worse for hard-hit rate (44.7%) and barrel rate (10.6%) while allowing 38.9% fly balls, explaining a 1.32 HR/9. Soler’s career 17.8% HR/FB rate (16.3% this year) hints at positive regression, and Angel Stadium is MLB’s fourth-best park for home runs. FanDuel Research projects 0.29 HRs for Soler, making fair odds roughly +297, so Swaim loves the +430 ticket.

Austin Swaim laid the -1.5 run line with the Angels at +116 despite the team’s eight-game win streak making it look like chalk. Cal Quantrill brings a 5.88 xERA, 16.4% K rate, and 1.32 HR/9 into the matchup, then hands off to MLB’s worst bullpen by SIERA (4.21). Angels starter Jose Soriano sports a 4.16 xERA and elite 63.7% ground-ball rate, a great fit against a Miami lineup already 10th-worst in ground-ball rate (43.6%). Swaim expects Los Angeles to win by multiple runs and keep the streak rolling.

Kenny G recommended laying –135 with the Angels despite Kyle Hendricks’ ugly 5.32 ERA. He argued Hendricks has been "decent" in four of his last five and now draws a Miami offense ranked 23rd in runs and trending under 4 runs per game (6-5-4-1-1-8-5). The bigger edge, according to Kenny, is fading Edward Cabrera and the Marlins’ bullpen. Cabrera owns a 5.50 ERA and struggled versus the Cubs, while Miami’s relief unit sits sixth-worst in MLB at 5.09. The Halos’ pen is even worse (league-worst 6.57), which is why Kenny leans over nine as well, but he trusts an Angels lineup that has popped 16 homers from Taylor Ward and averages 5.3 runs at home to outslug Miami. Supporting angles: the Marlins are 6-15 on the road and 14-7 to the over away, whereas Los Angeles is .500 at home and 11-8-1 to the over. Kenny projects a 6-4 or 7-5 type victory and believes the modest price is justified by Miami’s bullpen disadvantage and Hendricks’ bounce-back potential.

Mike Maher said he just swung a trade for Sandy Alcantara because he views the right-hander as a prime buy-low candidate. Maher pointed to Alcantara’s upcoming "pretty favorable" matchup with the Angels as a low-risk springboard that could mark the beginning of a turnaround. He told listeners to acquire or activate Alcantara now, reasoning that a solid outing against an Anaheim lineup that has struggled for consistency would immediately restore the pitcher’s ace perception and leave managers holding a discount difference-maker for the rest of the season. If Alcantara falters, Maher believes the cost to obtain him at this stage still makes the gamble worthwhile in season-long formats.

Ron Romanelli grabbed Miami on the moneyline, arguing the market is overreacting to the Angels’ recent win streak. Kyle Hendricks still sports a 5+ ERA and lacks swing-and-miss stuff, hardly the profile to justify chalk. Edward Cabrera’s ERA is similar on paper, but Romanelli noted the upside: seven strikeouts in his last outing against the Cubs and a 3-2 team record over his past five starts, with the two defeats coming by a single run (one in extras at Dodger Stadium). Miami ranks above league average versus righties, giving Cabrera reasonable run support. Ron thinks Cabrera’s whiffs keep the game close and the Marlins’ patient lineup eventually cracks Hendricks, making Miami a value dog play.

While passing on an official parlay, JD Bets leaned toward the Angels moneyline at –165. Los Angeles rides an eight-game winning streak and an 8-2 record over its last ten, whereas Miami has dropped three straight despite a recent uptick in hits. JD noted that bettors are effectively backing the hottest offense on the Saturday slate against a Marlins club still struggling to convert contact into wins. With momentum squarely on the Halos’ side and no significant weather or bullpen concerns, he said the Angels are the clear side for anyone comfortable laying the moderate juice.

Drew Martin wants the Marlins as road dogs because Edward Cabrera’s stuff is trending up while Kyle Hendricks appears cooked. Cabrera has pushed his fastball back to 98-99 mph and posted three straight strong outings despite the surface-level 4.91 ERA. Hendricks, meanwhile, sports a 5-plus ERA and FIP, only 28 strikeouts against 16 walks in 47 innings, and is living at 86-87 mph. Martin called the 35-year-old Dartmouth product a ‘swan-song’ fade and expects Miami to be listed at a tempting plus price. Listing Cabrera and fading Hendricks’ declining skills makes the Fish the play.

JD Bets pounded Jose Soriano UNDER 5.5 strikeouts for Saturday’s start against Miami. Soriano has topped six punch-outs just once in his last ten turns, averaging 4.6 over that span and 4.8 in his most recent five. The Marlins’ lineup simply doesn’t whiff enough to bail him out—Miami is fifth-best in strikeout rate and has fanned only 7.2 times per game across the last ten. JD argued that expecting Soriano to suddenly reach six Ks in this contact-heavy matchup is unrealistic, especially since his 4A stuff profile rarely generates double-digit whiff totals. With the books still hanging 5.5, he called the under a “winner” and made it an official play.

Kenny G’s main lean in Miami–L.A. is the Over 8.5. Cal Quantrill (6.37 ERA) has flashed two solid outings in his last three but still owns a .312 opponent average and gives way to a Marlins bullpen carrying a 5.11 ERA. On the other side Jose Soriano has been respectable (3.57 ERA, only nine earned over his last five) yet the Angels have gone 1-4 in those games thanks to baseball’s worst relief unit (6.48 ERA). Los Angeles is riding a seven-game win streak behind an offense that’s hung 10-10-7-4-6-11 runs in its last six, while Miami’s road overs are 13-7. Angel Stadium has also leaned high-scoring (10-8-1 to the over). Kenny doubts either starter sees the seventh and projects the two brutal pens to cough up crooked numbers late, making anything under 9 a go-ahead play despite the fishy Marlins sticks. He foresees something like 6-5 or 7-4 with both clubs contributing.

Cash Out Sports Picks doubled down on offense by recommending the full-game over. The Marlins bullpen has imploded to a 5.46 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and .300 BAA in the last 10 days, while the Angels relief corps is nearly as unreliable with a 4.76 ERA and 1.73 WHIP over the same span. Each starter carries his own red flags: Jose Soriano has yielded 3+ earned runs in five of his past seven starts, and Quantill, despite a better May, still owns a rough career line versus the Angels (28-for-88 allowed). Offensively, Miami clocks in at a .782 OPS (113 wRC+) against right-handers during this stretch, but Los Angeles cranks that up to .858 OPS and 142 wRC+. With both offenses locked in and few trustworthy arms scheduled after the fifth inning, Cash Out projected a game script featuring multiple crooked innings and advocated betting the over rather than sweating either side’s shaky pen.

Lonte Smith’s favorite angle in Marlins-Angels is the Over 8.5. He pointed to Quantrill’s 6.37 season ERA and 1.67 road WHIP, noting the right-hander has already surrendered 15 walks in four May starts and gives up loud contact when forced into the zone. On the other side, Jose Soriano’s control disappears at times—11 free passes in his last three outings—which could hand Miami extra base-runners. Smith reminded listeners that the Marlins’ lineup is quietly league-average in wRC+ since May 1 and should capitalize on Soriano’s volatility, while the red-hot Angels have scored 44 runs during their seven-game winning streak. With both bullpens taxed after multiple high-leverage games this week, he expects late-inning fireworks and projected a 6-5 final, making anything under 9 a bet.

The Bettor Mark leaned over 8.5 runs at –115 in the Marlins-Angels nightcap (10:07 PM first pitch). He cashed the same over yesterday and sees no reason to abandon the spot even with Cal Quantrill and Jose Soriano both in good form. Mark believes the head-to-head matchup actually benefits the Angels’ offense, which he expects to break out against Quantrill’s sinker/slider mix. Rather than laying –165 on L.A., he prefers the total, reasoning that Miami’s contact-oriented lineup can chip in a few scores as well. He views any number 8.5 or lower as playable given the Angels’ bullpen volatility and a warm Saturday night in Anaheim.

Cash Out Sports Picks took the Los Angeles Angels moneyline, arguing that matchup edges at the plate outweigh any concerns on the mound. The Angels have blistered righties for a league-best .858 OPS and 142 wRC+ over the last 10 days, while Miami sits at a respectable but inferior .782 OPS and 113 wRC+. Although Cal Quantrill has trimmed his ERA in May, the Halos’ lineup is already 28-for-88 off him with six extra-base hits, and Taylor Ward in particular is 5-for-9 with four runs driven in. On the other side, Jose Soriano has surrendered at least three earned runs in five of his last seven outings and must hand the ball to a Marlins bullpen sporting a 5.46 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and .300 BAA across its last 10 days. Los Angeles’ relief unit is no fortress either (4.76 ERA, 1.73 WHIP), but Cash Out trusts the hotter sticks and the familiarity advantage to tilt a likely shootout in the Angels’ favor.

Cash Out Sports Picks flagged Taylor Ward as a go-to play for Saturday slates and hitter props. The tout pointed out that Ward owns a sizzling 5-for-9 line with 4 RBI against Cal Quantrill and just launched a grand slam Thursday in Oakland. Los Angeles, as a team, has torched right-handed pitching lately with a .858 OPS and 142 wRC+ over the last 10 days, and Ward has ridden that surge with a 46% hard-hit rate during the same window. Quantrill may have steadied in May, but Miami's bullpen still carries a 5.46 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over the past 10 days, so Ward should see at least one at-bat against a shaky relief corps on top of his plus history versus the starter. Cash Out expects multiple run-producing opportunities and recommended Ward in DFS cash builds plus over 1.5 total bases or to record an RBI in the prop market.

Scott Reichel laid the –1.5 with the Angels at +130, citing everything breaking L.A.’s way right now. The Halos have ripped off seven straight wins, sweeping both the Dodgers and A’s, and are back within a game of .500. He wants to fade Cal Quantrill’s brutal road profile (7.36 ERA, 18 earned runs across his last three away outings) and 1.61 WHIP that balloons whenever he falls behind in the count. Jose Soriano has been uneven (3.55 ERA overall, 5.95 at home) but Reichel likes the pattern—three earned, zero earned, three earned, zero earned—and thinks he’s “due” for a quality start. With Mike Trout, Taylor Ward and Logan O’Hoppe all slugging .500+ over the past week, Reichel projected the Angels to plate five or six early and coast to a 6-3 type victory, making the plus-money run-line too good to pass up.

Just a Bet Outside said Sandy Alcantara no longer looks rosterable in season-long formats. Off Tommy John, the former Cy Young winner owns an 8.00 ERA and has coughed up 20 earned runs in his last 18.1 innings (four starts). His strikeout rate has cratered, he sits near the bottom of the league in whiff and chase percentages, and opponents are squaring him up for a barrel rate north of 10%. The tout questioned whether Miami will even keep him in the rotation all year, urging managers to move on until Alcantara proves he can miss bats again.

Scott Reichel backed Taylor Ward to leave the yard against Sandy Alcantara. Ward already sits at 14 homers after another blast Thursday and ranks top-15 in barrels per plate appearance. Alcantara’s road numbers are grim—14.81 ERA, 40% hard-hit rate, seven homers allowed in just 10.1 innings—and Angel Stadium will have a mild breeze out to left on Friday. Reichel added that Miami’s bullpen carries the seventh-worst HR/FB rate, giving Ward an extra plate appearance or two against another homer-prone unit. He’s playing Ward’s home-run prop down to +350 and pairing it with the Angels’ team total Over 4.5.

Lonte Smith called Jo Adell’s stolen-base prop one of his favorite angles Friday night. Miami’s Sandy Alcantara has long struggled to control the run game and is allowing 0.48 steals per inning this year. Adell owns 97th-percentile sprint speed and has attempted a swipe once every 13 times on base in 2024. With Alcantara’s road ERA ballooning to 14.81 and his walk rate spiking (10 BB in 10.1 IP away from Miami), Smith anticipates plenty of traffic for Los Angeles hitters. The rookie outfielder is being offered at +300 in most markets; Smith would play anything north of +220 and sprinkled a same-game combo with the Angels’ team total Over, expecting multiple stolen-base opportunities against Miami’s battery.

Reichel is isolating the first five innings with the Angels at ‑0.5 runs behind Yusei Kikuchi. The lefty owns a 1.65 ERA at home and Los Angeles is 3-0 in his last three starts despite the bullpen coughing up two wins. Miami counters with Sandy Alcantara, whose 7.99 ERA includes an eye-popping 14.81 mark on the road (10.1 IP, 17 ER, 10 BB). Alcantara has surrendered four or more earned in four straight and cannot control the running game—Reichel expects the Angels, who have scored 6+ in five of their last six, to exploit that immediately. With L.A. riding a six-game winning streak and a 7-3 stretch overall, he projected a 4-1 score after five and would lay up to ‑130 on the half-run.

Chris Ruffolo advised taking the game under, expecting a pitcher-friendly matchup between Yusei Kikuchi and Sandy Alcantara. Alcantara’s season numbers are ugly (7.99 ERA, 9.28 ERA over his last seven starts, six straight losses), yet Ruffolo believes this spot offers a chance for the 2022 Cy Young winner to steady himself because the Angels strike out a league-high 28.2% against righties while batting just .240 over the last two weeks. On the flip side, Kikuchi owns a tidy 3.50 ERA and routinely limits damage, and he now faces a Marlins lineup that has long been inept versus left-handed pitching. Ruffolo emphasized that both offenses have been unreliable all season—L.A. still missing a banged-up Mike Trout and Miami generally power-starved—so he expects few crooked numbers and prefers the under on the full-game total.

Chris Ruffolo said Yusei Kikuchi profiles as a sneaky DFS play on Friday because Miami has historically struggled against left-handed pitching. Ruffolo pointed out that despite Kikuchi’s solid 3.50 ERA, he sits at 0-4 only because the Angels rarely give him run support. He highlighted Kikuchi’s most recent outing versus the Dodgers (5.2 IP, 1 ER, 3 H) as evidence the southpaw is throwing well. The Marlins, meanwhile, rank near the bottom of MLB in wOBA versus lefties and bring minimal power to punish mistakes. Ruffolo acknowledged Kikuchi’s walk issues—four free passes in three of his last six starts—but still expects six competitive innings with a chance at 6-8 strikeouts, making him an under-rostered tournament option.

He paired the side with the OVER, pointing to both clubs’ bullpen implosions: Angels 6.66 ERA, Marlins 5.11. The total has cashed over in 14 of L.A.’s last 20 and four of Miami’s last six. Both lineups rank top-10 in OPS with runners in scoring position (LAA 6th, MIA 8th). Even if Kikuchi and Alcantara settle in early, the tout expects middle-inning fireworks once the pens take over, projecting 10+ combined runs.

Cash Out Sports Picks fired on the Angels money-line. Los Angeles rides a six-game win streak and ranks 7th in May OPS (.771). Yusei Kikuchi owns a 1.65 ERA and 1.29 WHIP at home, while Sandy Alcantara has been dreadful on the road (0-3, 14.81 ERA, .391 BAA). Even without Mike Trout, Logan O’Hoppe and Taylor Ward have combined for 26 HR, keeping the lineup humming. Miami’s bullpen (5.11 ERA) offers no relief behind a starter who has yielded 20 runs in his last 18.1 frames. With a massive pitching split and the hotter offense, the tout expects the Halos to keep rolling.

Bryan Power is betting the Marlins at plus money in Anaheim, calling the Angels’ −150 tag 'insane'. Los Angeles has ripped off seven straight wins—all as road underdogs—after sweeping both the Dodgers and A’s, but Power views the first game back home as a classic flat spot. He notes the Halos still own one of the league’s worst rosters and should never lay that kind of number to anyone. Miami is rested after a Thursday off and trots out Sandy Alcantara. The former Cy Young winner has been shelled recently (8.51 ERA over his last five, team 0-5), yet Power insists the matchup is still priced wrong because the market is overreacting to the Angels’ streak. He expects regression from LA’s patch-work staff and thinks Alcantara can steady enough to let a sneaky Marlins lineup steal one. Take Miami on the moneyline while the Angels are overvalued.

Peterson also took Over 8.5 (model 8.6). Alcantara’s near-8 ERA and 5.11 bullpen support, plus Kikuchi’s 4.43 FIP and an Angels relief crew lugging a 6.66 ERA, create multiple pathways to nine or more runs. He expects both starters to allow traffic and neither bullpen to slam the door, making the over attractive in Anaheim’s temperate night conditions.

Peterson laid -1.5 at +140 (priced +119) with the Angels. Sandy Alcantara’s nightmare season features a 7.99 ERA, 1.5 HR/9 and 5 BB/9, backed by a Marlins bullpen sporting a 5.11 ERA (26th). Yusei Kikuchi gives Los Angeles a 3.50 ERA baseline despite a 4.43 FIP, and the Angels lineup should feast on Miami’s pitching woes. Even with L.A.’s league-worst 6.66 bullpen ERA, Peterson expects an early cushion big enough to cover the run line.
