The Los Angeles Angels have won six of their last eight home games against the Cleveland Indians, which is important to consider when making your MLB picks Monday, as the two teams face off at Angel Stadium.

Courtesy of SBR Forum, the Angels are minus-125 favorites in the pro baseball odds, with the betting total sitting at 7.5 in the market.

Let's take a closer look at this American League matchup from a betting perspective, while offering up a prediction along the way.

Cleveland Indians

The Cleveland Indians are 3-3 on their current nine-game road trip, which includes a 7-3 setback to the Oakland Athletics as plus-119 underdogs Sunday.

Indians starting pitcher Danny Salazar has surrendered four home runs in 17.2 career innings.

Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels have alternated wins and losses over their last five games, as they look to bounce back from a 7-5 defeat to the Houston Astros as minus-186 home favorites Sunday.

Angels starting pitcher Jered Weaver is 3-0 with a 1.00 ERA in his last four efforts against the Cleveland Indians.
