Can you haters, (you know who you are, I know who you are, some of you even make ghost accounts to come at me, it's flattering, but trust me, there are more important things to do in life) at least wait until I go on a cooler before jumping ugly on me please. Have faith, I will go on several losing streaks, be patient, OK?

Until then..............

LA Angels -1.5 runs +105 over Houston
YTD 6-2
+ 10.08 *

I understand some of you are not that enamored with CJ Wilson, I get thatm, I always liked the kid, and am expecting a complete rebound from his last start.

Not going to sugar coat this, he stunk, got hit hard in that loss to the M's.

Houston and Cosart are in a bad spot today I believe, Houston is not a good LHP hitting team for starters, and with the exception of Matty D and Altuve, who just very well be the shortest clean up hitter in the history of the game, the line up is pretty weak, Chris Carter has pop though.

I like Houston's farm system, they should be relevant in 2-3 years, but I don't think CJ Wilson woke up in a cold sweat this morning fearing this

Astros start promising right hander, 23 year old Jarred Cosart.
Shut down the Yankees his first start, went five innings, no earned runs, for a few innings there was dealing.

Different situation today, tougher line up, and this start is on the road.

Expecting Trout, the best player in the game, to tee off, Pujols is swinging the bat a lot better, hell, I really think the Angels go off on the kid.

Angels, have the better pitcher, much better lineup, much better everything, I'll give Houston a run, make the betting line +105, and wager 2* on the Halo's to win by 2 or more runs.


I am looking at Cingrani also as a live dog, but the Angel play goes.

Damn!

Your plays are a win celebration from the 1st pitch on!
