Friday: 2-4, + 3.9 units. Still can't figure out how that Tampa game came under so easily. The oddsmakers and sharps know much more than I do.
This might be my big play for the day.
LAA:ML. One unit
LAA: TT over 4. Darvish's problems in Seattle signal more than just a fluke with a team that usually can't hit. Darvish has had command issues all year. A patient batter will get a BB or wait on one of his down the middle pitches that Darvish throws when he REALLY needs a strike. Being a righty and having to deal with the Angels ability to steal bases will only make the situation worse. He will have to pitch out of the stretch often. He has only a 4.42 ERA on the road and his velocity has gone down a bit. The Angels have to think this series is an opportunity to make the AL West a race. Santana seems to be struggling on and off all year. The Rangers however have the lowest total of extra bases for the past 7 games of any mlb team. Ususally a team that has this many good hitters breaks out of their slump, but this one has gone on for a long, long time. Young has lost his power, Beltre is swinging at bad pitches again, and Hamilton is just not carrying this team anymore.
