MLB Underdog of the Day (It's Trout Season in Seattle)

When I’m looking through the card each day to try and find an underdog I like most, one of the things that often sticks out is if the underdog has the best player of the last decade in baseball on their team. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I think that is important. 

It does not hurt at all if that team also has last year's MVP and a generational talent on the team and it’s not the same guy. I present to you… the wildly disappointing 30-35 Los Angeles Angels. 

Odds are available on the WynnBET Sportsbook, as we dissect why they're worthy of a plus-value bet on the moneyline.

Best MLB Underdog Pick Today

Mike Trout left with an injury against the Red Sox on June 7th and had been struggling to start the month, but heading to T-Mobile Park helped to jump start his bat. Last night Trout homered in the first game of the Angels series with the Mariners. 

Oh and then he did it again.

Mike Trout crushes fastballs and Robbie Ray, who is starting for Seattle tonight, throws a lot of them. Ray throws 50.9% fastballs and has an XSLG of .493 on the pitch. Meanwhile, 64% of Trout's hits come on fastballs and he has an XSLG of .603. Trout has a lot of success against lefties too, with an OPS of 1.137. He has done that with only three of his 18 home runs off of left handed pitching. 

Pick: Angels +115
