The Arizona Diamondbacks open a quick two-game inter-league matchup against the Los Angeles Angels this Monday night as the featured game on ESPN. Elite-rated VietBet has set the MLB betting moneyline for each team at -105 for this slated 10 p.m. (ET) start at Angel Stadium with the total line set at eight runs.

Arizona’s lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West stands at a game and a half after splitting a four-game weekend series at home against the New York Mets. The Diamondbacks have lost three of their last five games after putting together a five-game winning streak earlier in June. They are 39-32 overall with an even 16-16 record on the road.

Zack Greinke is expected to get the start for Arizona on Monday night. The right hander lost his last start against Pittsburgh at home to fall to an even 5-5 on the year. He allowed five earned runs on five hits in just 4 2/3 innings pitched last Wednesday. This boosted his ERA on the year to 3.87 with a 1.15 WHIP through a total of 14 starts.

The current MLB baseball betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated VietBet have the Angels as a slight home favorite.

Arizona Diamondbacks (+105)
Los Angeles Angels      (-115)

Over 7.5 runs   (+100)
Under 7.5 runs (-120)

The Angels have just one victory in their last seven games as part of an extended nine-game road trip. They lost two of three against Oakland over the weekend with the total going OVER VietBet’s closing line in their last five games. Los Angeles returns home at 17-18 this season as part of an overall record of 38-34 that has it 9.5 games behind Houston in the AL West. It has gone 6-1 in its last seven games played at home.

Los Angeles will turn to Jaime Barria as its starter for Monday night. The right hander is 5-2 on the year with a 2.61 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. This will be his ninth start of the season after giving up two home runs in last Tuesday’s loss to Seattle. The Angels are now 4-2 over his last six trips to the mound.

I like Los Angeles at even money in this matchup. Barria gives the Angels the slight edge on the mound and they are still getting runs across the plate on a regular basis win or lose.
