| MLB | (965) Los Angeles Angels at (966) Arizona Diamondbacks: Mike Trout Hits + Runs + RBIs | 9:40pm EDT - Jun 15/2026 |
The PLAY: Mike Trout Hits + Runs + RBIs Over 1.5 (-150) Action
He's largely staying under the national radar because the Angels are in last place in the AL West, but Mike Trout is enjoying a really strong season in Anaheim. Hitting .224 isn't going to help you win many awards, but Trout is hitting the ball harder than he ever has at age 34 and opposing pitchers are not interested in giving him much to work with. Trout's 20.5-percent walk rate is the best in baseball this season, helping to boost his .388 on-base percentage. Trout enters Monday in the top-10th percentile among hitters in barrel rate, hard-hit rate, expected slugging percentage and expected weighted on-base average. Trout has reached base in each of his last six games, including a double on Sunday against the Rays. The Angels travel to Arizona where Diamondbacks' starting pitcher Ryne Nelson has struggled this season. Nelson enters Monday in the bottom-25th percentile among pitchers in expected ERA, expected batting average allowed, average exit velocity, whiff rate, strikeout rate, barrel rate and hard-hit rate allowed. In seven starts at home this season, Nelson is 1-2 with a 5.35 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. Over his last three starts, Nelson has allowed a total of six home runs. It's been over a full calendar month since Nelson recorded more than three strikeouts in a start, so he's allowing a lot of balls in play. In six prior plate appearances against Nelson, Trout is 1-for-4 with two walks and a double. Trout has scored 18 runs across his last 24 games played.
