    Laa/tb

    is garland really any worse than sonnanstine?

    no

    is the angels offense 2x as good as tb's with no craw or longoria

    yes

    who has the better pen

    this line is a gem

    That's not an in-depth look at the game at all. TB is at home and have proven they have a distinct advantage there. And the SP matchup is NOT even:

    Sonnanstine: 3.55 FIP 4.27 xFIP .318 BAbip
    Garland: 4.71 FIP 4.61 xFIP .306 BAbip

    Sonnanstine is a finesse, average GB/FB pitcher
    Garland is a finesse, groundball pitcher

    TB OPS vs. RHP: .772
    TB OPS vs. finesse pitcher: .798
    TB OPS vs. groundball pitcher: .761

    LAA OPS vs. RHP: .734
    LAA OPS vs. finesse pitcher: .720
    LAA OPS vs. average GB/FB pitcher: .783

    Of course, the TB offensive numbers must be taken with a grain of salt because of no Crawford and Longoria, but that hasn't seemed to slow the TB offense recently.

    losing your top two hitters hurts a lot, and thats what tb has done. yes, they won 2 of 3 in texas, rining up 14 runs in 3 games
    to me, thats quite a hit

    I took LAA. The one thing that may keep me from betting LAA again for the rest of the year is that they already took the division. The only thing they are playing for is the top spot and best record.

    The Angels just lost their first series to an AL team since May, which is incredible. I'm a little worried that with a 15 game lead they are going to cruise a little. I know Scoscia is amazing at going one game at a time, but so is Joe Maddon and he has a LOT more to play for. I'm off the Halos until the playoffs start unless I see a really stupid number and this ain't it.

    he is the same as sonnanstine to me
    so it comes down to offense

    laa has a better offense
    no play for me after debating it though

    Go Angels. Statement series. They will prove to Tampa as they did to Boston that they are the team to beat.

    The Angels have a 712 OPS in their last 7 games, while Tampa has a 779 OPS in the last 7 games.

    Thought the line was fair, and I actually took it Tampa last night at -122. But I wish I would have waited and got them a lot lower today.

    BJ Upton needs to seriously un-f\*\*k himself quickly. His getting tagged out standing up at 2B was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen in a baseball game.
