It’s Mike Trout Bobblehead Night in Anaheim. You know the drill. Whip it out. Tap the app. Put something on the board.
Three-time MVP. MLB heartthrob. WBC hero for Team USA. Angel Stadium under the lights. Cheap seats in right-center — Trout’s favorite alley for going oppo. This is a can’t-miss night for betting.
Forget the records. Yes, the Twins are 63–80 and the Angels sit at 67–76 — both fourth in their divisions — but that’s not the story. This one’s all about vibes and value.
The pitching matchup is soft on paper. Minnesota starts Simeon Woods Richardson (5–4, 4.53 ERA), while rookie Jack Dana (0–0, 4.91 ERA) gets the ball for Los Angeles. This has the makings of a bullpen night, and the total reflects it.
Forecast calls for calm winds, mid-70s temps at first pitch, and perfect hitting conditions at Angel Stadium.
Here’s the ESPN Bet slip as of 3:30 p.m. ET:
Angels -1.5 (+145)
Over 9.5 total runs (-110)
Trout to hit 1+ home run (+220)
Trout to record 2+ RBI (+360)
$1 on each straight nets $12.36 on a $4 risk.
Or go bolder: $15 on the parlay pays $139.50 if it hits.
Need a safer angle? Bet Trout 3+ total bases at (+180) — which cashes with a home run or any combo of a double and single. Don’t expect walks tonight. Trout’s going up there swinging.
If you’re skipping the bobblehead line or can’t make it to Anaheim, stream the game on FanDuel Sports Network West or Twins.TV presented by Progressive. You can also follow along on MLB.com or through the Gameday app. Trout’s wearing No. 27 — you won’t miss him. He’ll be the one racking up total bases.
Trout’s 2025 spray chart leans oppo, and the 365-foot alley in right-center is the splash zone. SeatGeek currently shows $20 seats in that area, one even marked “Amazing.” Before you tap buy, preview the seat view, confirm the full price with fees, check for netting, look for aisle access, and note the proximity to restrooms or exits. Here’s the SeatGeek listing.
We’ve seen the bump before.
Leadoff. Second pitch. Gone. Citi Field shook, and HR props cashed.
Clean blast in the Bronx. Now the named captain of Team USA for the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
Two home runs and six RBI — the gold standard for bobblehead nights.
Walk-off winner to seal another legendary night under the lights.
Soon to rep Italy at the 2026 WBC, Volpe delivered a blast on his big night.

Kendrick’s second bobblehead night honored the moment he homered off the foul pole — a true Nationals classic.
Angels 6, Twins 4. Trout goes aggressive. A two-run shot lands in right-center. The total climbs into double digits. The run line hits. Fans walk away with a plastic Trout. Bettors walk away with a little more in their wallet. Please bet responsibility and enjoy watching the legends, particularly when they are a WBC representative on their on Bobblehead Night. Good luck!
