Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels
Prediction: Los Angeles Angels -145 odds

On Monday night the MLB play of the day is on the LA. Angels. Game 968 at 10:05 eastern. The Angles fit a solid MLB power system tonight that plays on certain home favorites off a road dog win at +140 or higher, if they won by 2 or more runs and scored 5 or more runs, vs an opponent that scored 2 or less runs on 5+ hits. These home teams are 11-1 the past few years and win by an average 5-2 score. The Angels came away with a big dog win in Tampa on Sunday and have played well of late despite having no hope of a playoff appearance. Texas lost on Sunday in a close game in Seattle and may be ready to level off after a real nice win streak earlier in the month. The Angels have taken 4 of the 6 games played here this season and have their ace on the mound. J. Weaver makes the start tonight and he has been superb at home this season. He has a 1.56 era in all home starts this season and has been solid in his last 3 outings with a 1.64 era. He has Dominated the Texas lineup allowing no earned runs in 14 innings pitched here at home. Both of which were wins. Texas counters with D. Holland tonight. Holland has a dismal 6.48 era in his limited road starts this year and not surprisingly Texas has lost 3 of the 4 he has pitched away from home. LA has a solid chance of winning this one tonight. On Monday I have a 95% cutting edge system play on the Monday night football game. Sundays top play cashed a second straight week with Cincinnati. I will also have another free play on Monday nights radio show. The Bandbox with Anthony Pierno. Listen online at 88.9. Wsia.fm at 7:45 Eastern. For the MLB Top play take the LA. Angels tonight. RV

Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels
MLB Pick: Los Angeles Angels -145 odds

I’m laying the price with the Angels on Monday night. The Rangers wrapped up the AL West over a month ago, for all intents and purposes. Tonight, they’ll send Derek Holland to the Angel Stadium bump. Holland has struggled on the road this season, sporting a hefty 6.62 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in five appearances, including four starts. The Angels may have been on the outside of the playoff race for a couple of months, but they’re playing decent baseball right now. The Halos have won seven of their last 10 games, and they’re on a 4-0 run at home. And I’m sure Mike Scioscia’s club would like nothing better than to set the tone for next season when the Angels are healthy and the Rangers are less dangerous. After all, it’s going to be tough for Texas to keep a couple of this season’s big producers in Arlington in 2011. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have Jered Weaver on the mound tonight. The righthander is having another strong season. He’s been red-hot of late and is virtually untouchable at home. Combined with his strong career numbers against Texas, I believe the home team is in a solid play-on spot. Look for the Angels to make it five straight home wins on Monday night. Thanks! GL! Scott.

MLB picks and analyses for:

Texas Rangers @ Los Angeles Angels Sep 20, 2010 10:05PM
PICK: Los Angeles Angels

REASON FOR PICK: Texas has enjoyed the better season. However, the Angels are currently playing better baseball at home than the Rangers are on the road. The Angels also figure to have an advantage on the mound.

Weaver is coming off a beauty. He retired 21 of 22 batters en route to earning a 7-0 victory at Cleveland. That was on the road. Now, Weaver returns home where he's got a a major league-best 1.56 ERA. The Angels are 9-5 in his 14 home starts. It should also be noted that Weaver is 5-0 with a 2.40 ERA in nine career home starts against the Rangers.

Holland was sharp in his last road start. However, that's been the exception rather than the norm. For his career, he's 2-9 with a terrible 5.72 ERA on the road. This season, he's 1-3 with a 6.48 ERA and 1.681 WHIP, in four road starts. His last start at LA resulted in a 5-0 loss.

Overall, the Rangers are an ugly 7-15 their last 22 road games. Meanwhile, the Angels have won four straight at home. Given Weaver's numbers here, the price is fair. Consider LA.
