Red Sox vs Angels MLB Player Prop Picks (Jun 24)

The Boston Red Sox (40–40) visit the Los Angeles Angels (38–40) looking to bounce back after splitting the first two games of their midseason series. Tonight pits Cy Young contender Garrett Crochet (7–4, 2.20 ERA) against lefty Tyler Anderson (2–5, 4.56 ERA), with the total set around 8 runs in what’s expected to be a tight pitchers ‘ duel. First pitch is 9:38 p.m. ET at Angel Stadium.

• In Monday’s finale, the Angels erupted for 9–5 behind a four-run eighth, exposing Boston’s bullpen issues.
• Boston turns to strikeout ace Garrett Crochet, who has 125 Ks on the season and faces an Angels lineup that swings and misses often.
• Los Angeles counters with Anderson, whose high-LOB rate and mid-4.50 ERA make him prone to strikeouts and suppressed scoring from Boston.

Boston Red Sox Player Prop Pick: Garret Crochet

The Red Sox offense has been streaky but shows potency against lefties (.793 OPS vs. LHP). Crochet leads a rotation that has been keeping Boston competitive despite a shaky bullpen. Key bats like Rafaela and Story are capable of momentum-changing at-bats.

• Crochet ranks near the top of the AL in K totals (125) and has eclipsed nine strikeouts in 3 of his last 5 starts.
• The Angels lead the league in strikeout rate vs. LHP (~28%).
• Even a 6-inning start with 3–4 Ks per inning gets him there.

Los Angeles Angels Player Prop Pick: Tyler Anderson

Bolstered by a strong offensive showing in Monday’s win, the Angels lean on power hitters like Zach Neto (12 HR) and Taylor Ward (19 HR). Their bullpen stabilized late, but Anderson needs early run support to let them hold the lead.

• Anderson’s FIP (≈5.14) and WHIP (1.40) suggest regression is unlikely—he limits damage in most starts.
• Boston is 5–2 under him this season with modest overall run production.
• Expect 5–6 innings and 0–4 ER given his recent consistency.
