3 units on Angels -1/2 (1H)
Vargas has been shelled his past 4 starts. Last year he faded in the 2nd half of the season. It's like the junk he throws gets seen enough so that by mid-season, teams are hitting it. Angels just saw lefty Liriano last night. Another, much weaker, lefty tonight. Angels are stacked on the right side. Jered Weaver dominates a lineup with 4 or 5 triple A type hitters. Ackley, who is hot and a 2 month rookie, is their only dependable bat. Weaver is especially nasty at home. The Angels and Weaver know they have to win as many games as possible against weak AL West teams like Oakland and Seattle to stay close to Texas. Though the Mariners just swept Oakland, that's what they did in July before their long losing streak. They have the As number, unfortunately, for them, Angels and Rangers are crushing Ms. Taking the 1st half as we know the Angels bullpen can be dicey- even though Weaver probably won't need it.
