YTD: 8-8
LOS ANGELES ANGELS -105
I'm surprised that the oddsmakers continue to undervalue the Angels. Besides the Yankees, they are probably the hottest team in baseball. They also sport the second best record in the Majors (behind the aforementioned Yankees). They are now just about at full strength after Torii Hunter was recently activated from the DL. Vladimir Guerrero has caught fire, hitting two homers and driving in 5 in last night's win. They are receiving contributions from all over their lineup. Even though the pitching staff has been lackluster, it doesn't seem to matter because the offense has picked them up night after night. The Indians have been playing the spoiler role very well coming down the stretch as they too, have caught fire. However, they send Fausto Carmona to the mound tonight who has been horrible for a couple years now after having a breakout year in 2007. He hasn't won a decision since May 14th this year, and I expect that trend to continue tonight against one of the best teams in baseball. I love the Angels tonight, especially at this price! BOL to all.
