The Angels became the first team to reach 90 wins on the season last night and they should make it 91 this evening with Jon Garland on the mound against the Seattle Mariners.
Coming off a three-game winning streak, the Angels look to continue their dominance in the AL West today as they blow past the Mariners and push towards their first 100 win season.
Jon Garland will be taking the hill this afternoon for the Angels, setting up the Angels' third win in the series on their way to a sweep of the Mariners. He is 13-8 thus far in the season and has an ERA of 4.52. He’s an impressive pitcher at home and is undefeated in his last three starts.
Ryan Feierabend will be getting the rock for the Mariners tonight with an away ERA of 11.42. Look for the Angels' offense to smash on this weak southpaw and easily cover the run the line.
Tori Hunter gets the start in centerfield after serving his two-game suspension and taking an extra day off last night to let his tweaked quad heal. Look for Hunter’s red hot bat coupled with the continued strength of Vladimir Guerrero to boost the Angels' offense and give Frankie Rodriguez a shot at the record books with save #58. We saw Hunter dancing “The Swim” during the Angels division-clinching celebration on Wednesday and he has since joked that it “was part of his therapy.” If it’s good enough to dance on gentlemen, it’s good enough to bet on.
I’ll just let the facts speak for themselves: Seattle is 4-9 in their last 13 games on the road, 1-5 in the last six against the Angels, and 5-15 in their last 20 games when playing on the road against the Angels. On the flip side of the coin, the Angels are 4-1 in their last five games, 6-2 in their last eight at home, 5-1 in their last six against Seattle, and are a staggering 15-5 in their last 20 games when playing at home against Seattle. And the icing on the cake is the Angels have beaten the run line the last two nights against the Mariners.
You guys don’t need me to tell you, but here it is. The bookies want action on the Angels' side of the run line, so let’s give it to them. Take the -1½ run line with a price of +125 or better for a two-unit play.
Free Pick: Angels -1½ (+125)
