After looking at the card a few times this game sticks out the most to me. C.J. Wilson goes up against the young lefty in Nate Eovaldi who throws 95mph. However, there is now a scouting report on Eovaldi and the scouting says that 3 out of 4 pitches he's throwing a fast ball. The Angels are the #1 team in hitting that pitch over the last 2 weeks. They also have been more selective while getting walks which was a rare thing for them in the first two months of the season. That results in better counts and better pitches to hit and the results are obvious. The Angels have scored 7.23 R/9 over the last 10 games while hitting .328. While the Dodgers .222 3.15 runs per 9 vs. LHP in their last 10. Wilson combo of 8.32 K/9 and a 54% ground ball rate are intriguing and a rare combo. Unlike Eovaldi he spreads his pitches out with 5 different pitches in his arsenal. His last 4 outings have been stellar while opponents have a .146 avg against him. He's also 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA in 5 career road starts in inter league play. I'm going with the Angels and their new approach to stay hot and take this game.
