Free Pick for 8/12/2011: MLB LA Angels -120 over the TOR BlueJays. We'll gladly side with the Angels and ace Jered Weaver at this price. Southpaw Ricky Romero has been great for the Jays but he's had mixed results vs the Angels, going 1-1 against them last year while allowing 8 earned runs on 17 hits in 12 1/3 innings. Romero's facing an Angels team that comes into this game hitting .291 and averaging 5.55 runs/game vs left handers over their last ten games. Meanwhile Weaver enters this game at 8-4 with a 1.99 ERA on the road this season, and he's 4-1 with a 1.52 ERA on the early card this year. Weaver is 7-1 with a 2.68 ERA in eight career starts vs Toronto, and has reeled off 5 straight Ws against them. He shouldn't have any problem making it 6 straight as Toronto has been flat since the public accusations of "stealing signs" at the Rogers Centre. Toronto enters this game batting only .224 while averaging only 3.31 runs/game over their last 10 vs right handed pitching. The Blue Jays are 1-4 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter, and 2-6 in Romeros last 8 home starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Angels are 6-0 in their last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter, 7-0 in Weavers last 7 starts with 7 or more days of rest, and 40-15 in Weavers last 55 starts as a favorite of -110 to -150. Take the Angels -120. Thank You & Good Luck!
