MLB FREE PICK: Take Los Angeles. According to latest MLB trends, St. Louis is 2-6 last 8 overall, 2-7 last 9 interleague games and 1-5 in Lynn’s last 6 starts after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. LA Angels are 5-0 last 5 following a win, 18-5 last 23 following an off day, 39-13 in Weaver’s last 51 starts as a favorite and 15-7 in Weaver’s last 22 starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5.
Albert Pujols takes on his old team for the first time since signing with the Angels in 2012. St. Louis sends Lance Lynn (10-2, 3.52 ERA) to the mound against the red-hot Angels, who have won six straight. Lynn is coming off allowing four runs in 7 2/3 innings at Houston on June 26. He also walked four and that’s been an issue for Lynn, who has walked 12 in his last four starts. He’s also posted a 5.79 ERA in his last three starts. Lynn has never faced the Angels and has a 1-1 record with a 4.70 ERA in seven career interleague games. Jered Weaver (1-4, 4.15 ERA) had not pitched wellsince coming off the disabled list until his last start when he allowed just one run in seven innings last Thursday against Detroit. He has a 13-4 record with a 2.61 ERA in interleague play. The Angels should get Mike Trout back after he missed his first game all season due to a sore hamstring on Sunday. The Angels still swept Houston and also swept Detroit in back-to-back series. Look for the Angels to continue their winning ways with Weaver back in fine form.
