></o>L.A. Angels +1.02 over TEXAS PINNACLE
The Angels are just too hot and they’re playing too good right now to ignore in this spot. When you wager on the Angels you’re almost always going with the best of it because this team is heads above everybody else when it comes to playing good fundamental baseball. When the Angels lead an inning off with a double the next guy will either bunt him over successfully or move him over with a sac fly or grounder to the right side, followed by an RBI by the next batter. With a runner on third and less than two outs you can count on that run scoring way more often than not. When they have a one-run lead late they’ll seldom give it up. They’ll small ball you to death or they’ll blow you away. Scott Feldman has good numbers but the truth of the matter is he’s a very average pitcher that’s on a decent run. He’s very hittable indeed and it’s a rare day when he goes more than six innings. He’s a career spot starter with a career ERA of 4.74 and we just saw the Giants knock him around pretty good. Against the Angels in his career, Feldman is 1-2 with an ERA of 6.18. In addition, the Rangers are not scoring runs and in fact, have been held to two runs or fewer in six of its last nine games. Meanwhile, the Angels have won seven in a row and 13 of 16. Joe Saunders is 8-4 with a 3.66 ERA and he and the Angels offer up a ton more value than the Rangers do as the chalk. This one is a must-play. Play: L.A. Angels +1.02 (Risking 2 units). <o

></o>As far as talent goes, the Rays take a back seat to nobody in this league and right now they’re feeling it. The Rays offense is deadly, they’re quicker than anyone and it’s not close, they have raw power, they hit for average and there’s not a single batter in the line-up that can be considered an easy out. They can beat you in more ways than anyone and they’re first or second in every single offensive category. The Rays came in here last night and shut down the Blue Jays en route to a rather easy 4-1 victory. Oh, they beat Roy Halliday in the process and now they’ll take a huge step down in class when they face Scott Richmond. Anyway, I’m not going to go into the pitching match-up too much. This one is all about playing a very hot and very talented, deep team against a Blue Jays team that’s dropped four straight and that’s not scoring runs. Matt Garza doesn’t get the same accolades as others but his numbers are as impressive as anyone’s. The league is hitting a puny .210 off him and that’s after a tough schedule that includes the Yanks, Rockies in Colorado and the Phillies at Philadelphia in three of his last four starts. The Rays will score runs and they’ll score some in the first half of the game while the Blue Jays will very likely be seeing BB’s again. Play: Tampa Bay +1.02 in the first five innings (Risking 2 units).
