The read

I'm taking the Angels +1.5 at +136 because the value on the run line is too strong to ignore given the stats at hand. The Dodgers have been winning, but they're allowing an ugly 7.20 runs per game lately, which tells me their pitching is springing leaks, and that's not what you want laying a big run line.

The Angels, on the other hand, are only giving up 4.60 runs per game—a much tighter ship—and they've got a little momentum with a 2-game win streak and a 5-1 score in their last outing. With no dominant starting pitcher stats to tip the scale, I trust the Angels' steadier run prevention and recent form to keep this one within a run, especially with plus money in our pocket.

This is classic value play—sometimes you let the public overpay for the shiny name, and you grab the edge where the numbers actually point.
