    Weird line of the day: Angels +141

    Seriously, when's the last time CJ Wilson was +141? I know Yu Darvish is the next Hideo Nomo -- err, Chan Ho Park -- um, never mind. Anyway, Rangers are coming back home from a road trip to face a top shelf lefty that knows them inside and out. Holy inflated number Batman.

    What would this line be, if Puljols played like a major league baseball player? Angels +110?

    I hate to say Pujols and the Angels offense is due, but....

    Seriously, you have two SP's with even numbers. This line is a spit in the face of the Angels' offense, which is understandable given their track record, but I'll take them at +141 thank you very much. This should be about +120 at most.

    I was thinking the same thing until I saw the % bet on Texas. It is outrageous right now. Yankees weren't the public favorite yesterday.

    I looked at this game and its hard to go against a team that is hitting as well as Texas right now.On top of how bad the Angels offense has been. Plus, both teams traveled too.


    RL maybe?

    This game might not even be played. 70% chance of T-storms around game time.

    They're catching the Rangers off a DH so there is value on the Halos.

    I find way too much inconsistency, well in both teams for that matter but I think TEXAS looking for that big hit, they want a comeback, I bet they were embarrased about game 1 yesterday so lets cook up LAA and see TEXAS prevail

    Angels:
    3-6 when total is 8-8.5
    0-3 road dog +125 to +150
    5-10 road games
    1-4 road games when total is 8-8.5
    10-11 night games
    0-2 play with a day off
    5-8 after a win
    6-8 against team with winning record


    Rangers:
    7-4 when total is 8-8.5
    2-2 home fave -125 to -150
    8-5 home games
    0-0 at home when total is 8 to 8.5
    played two games yesterday
    15-8 night games
    13-9 after a win
    5-0 against team with losing record


    Angels ML has dropped to a more realistic (IMO) +136 at 5dimes at the time of this post.

    The +146 mentioned earlier was probably exploiting the public's perception of the Rangers as a hot team and Angels as a disappointment.

    -146 ML for Rangers is too much for me to take but no way I'm backing the Angels tonight.

    Just my 2 cents worth.... Angels expected to give Rangers a run in the division, but have fallen on their faces so far. Vegas makes Texas a big favorite and now the line has come down (not sure what brought line down as I haven't been watching it....big money or public?) to probably where it should have started. I think Texas is hot and Angels are getting ready to give them a run for their money.....HOWEVER....WHEN IN DOUBT, RIDE THE HOT TEAM. I am glad line dropped so I can ride the Rangers on this one. BOL

    Not the Rangers strongest defensive line up.

    Kinsler 2B
    Andrus SS
    Hamilton LF
    Beltre DH
    Young 3B
    Cruz RF
    Napoli 1B
    Torrealba C
    Gentry CF

    Napoli has called Darvish's best games.
    Beltre is missed at 3B with so many expected RH batters.
    Tired of hearing "And past the diving Michael Young".
    Rangers plane landed at 2:30 AM after a double header.

    Not sure I understand this line. Just gonna watch as a fan.

    Not so sure about this one. It really does seem like a good spot to take the Halos given the price, but they will be facing a pitcher they've never seen before who has pitched very well his last few starts. And given the Angels hitting problems so far, I wouldn't count on their lineup to put up a lot of runs here. The Rangers did come in late last night, but I'm not so sure Yu wasn't already in Arlington. Also, you have the whole bad blood thing with CJ after the whole Napoli incident. I think both teams will be psyched for this game, but the Rangers clearly have the much better team. Good luck, I won't be playing either side here.

    ^^^It's the double header and late arrival that may make the Rangers' bats less effective. They have, however, practiced against Wilson when he was on the team. Angels never faced Darvish. Definitely not a "large wager" game regardless of the side you take.
