Tampa Bay Rays vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/06/25

The Rays and Angels are set for a Wednesday afternoon showdown in Los Angeles. Tyler Anderson is slated to get the start on the mound for the Angels, and he has struggled lately. However, the good news is that he is set to face a Tampa Bay offense that has had its issues against left-handers this season. The Rays own a .227 batting average against lefties, which sits at just 24th across baseball. Furthermore, their team OPS of .646 sits at 25th in the league. After allowing 4 earned runs to the White Sox in his last outing, Anderson could be in a decent position to bounce back in this one.

Anderson’s opposition on the mound will be Tampa Bay’s Shane Baz. The 26-year-old right-hander has some pretty significant home/road splits, and has been great when pitching away from George M. Steinbrenner Field. His ERA drops from a whopping 6.54 at home to 2.97 on the road. In addition, his BAA goes from .274 to .227. He will be happy to be on the road in his one, and should be able to put together a strong outing. Look to the under.
