Yeah they're so terrible at hitting that they have the second best record in baseball. Perhaps, just perhaps, I might have brought up the pitching matchup because that's what wins games for the Angels and loses games for the Rangers. It would be feasible for a guy like Luis Mendoza and 5.24 ERA bullpen to shut down a "team that can't hit" with an average at best home record. The Rangers definitely have everything going for them and pitching never wins championships. LOL. This is probably one of the most fundamentally challenged threads I've ever been a part of...Comment -
the angels cannot hit
their record doesnt show they can hit, so show me the statsComment -
OMG. Can you read? I just said that they win with their pitching. Get it yet? Meanwhile the Rangers pitching staff is among, if not the worst in the majors. The Angels will score on this staff, as everyone else in the majors has. No question about it.Comment -
i agree
i am doing the overComment -

That was funny...lol...I can sense your frustration.
Seriously, no denying who the better team is but with the home record in MLB this year the home dog has been proven the way to go.
Everyone has their own handicapping method.

i know the numbers, i know texas cannot pitch
they can still win a game, and there is NEVER anything wrong with taking a good team, at home, at +120
so we will see who wins
i will not be suprised in laa wins 11-4Comment -
Let's bring it home Ryan!!!
Comment -
for the record, i am taking laa to score first -140
yes score in first inning -140
and tex+120 for a lil. also taking over 10.5 for a lilComment -
I didn't bet anything but good luck to all.Comment -
Excellent article on the Angels and what we might expect of them in the second half."Things happen for a reason, they say, but I say there's a reason things happen"
"Not everybody talks, but everybody lies / Not everybody lives, but everybody dies"Comment -
so i bet 500 on laa score first
500 on yes score first inn
100 on tex
100 over 10.5
nice start for the propsComment -
Home parks do play a factor as well. Angel Stadium suits Angels lineup very well and plays a big part in their success. They may have been slightly lucky to win as many road games as they have, but their home numbers are no fluke.
Ranger stadium on the other hand is one of the toughest parks for pitchers, so it's not a big wonder Texas pitching staff is in trouble sometimes.Comment -
good point, like oakland. their park helps them a ton, and boston
good pointComment -
First off, Texas is not a good team. They are an average team and one that has probably been overperforming itself thus far. And yes there are certainly times when taking a home team +120 is not a good play. This would be one of them. A horrible matchup for Texas. And if it wouldn't surprise you for the Angels to win 11-4, then how on Earth do think getting +120 on the play could possibly be +EV? This is unbelievable...Originally posted by ryanXL977Comment -

texas is a good solid team with a a bad penComment -
Uh huh. Sure. Whatever you say. You certainly seem to be well informed.Comment -
you bet the angels? you should be happy, i got the over i think, got props. wont get texas probably
but hey, i will take a big win on the gameComment -
where is ole monkey focker now
his angels dont seem to look as goodComment -
They don't? Odd.Comment -
It is very simple. Good pitching beats good hitting. 4 out of the 5 starting pitchers ERA WITH THE BEST RELIEVER IN BASEBALL:
STARTING PITCHERS ERA
LACKEY - 1.92
SAUNDERS 3.04
SANTANA 3.28
GARLAND - 3.76
They have the 2nd best record in baseball and already 19 games over 500. The only way they won't win a 100 games is because they might rest their players at the end of the year. They will never have a long losing streak with this pitching staffComment -
0-1 -1.00
Texas +120 (BJ)Comment -
You got lucky last night. Now sweep the other two games.Originally posted by hackattackComment -
1-1 +.20
Texas +130Comment -
2-1 +1.5 units
Hey, call it lucky but I have had bad beats like that go against me many times.
Comment -
I'm riding this one all the way.
Rangers are 29-13 in their last 42 games vs. a right-handed starter.
Texas +128 (BJ)Comment -
Better to be lucky than good. Keep beating the Angels.Comment -
The Angels bullpen took a beating in this series. Maybe some tired arms?
I really like the under in this game for a small bet and sticking with the original bet. One more win and I break even..but looking for better.
Oakland +105
2-2 +.5Comment -
ill take a split anyday
go texComment -
I hope the Angels arms are worn down. Lose Angels, Lose.Comment -
they wont be winning 55 road games, rest assuredComment -
they are angels what would you expect ..Comment -
This road trip is going as predicted as the Angels are limping into the All-Star Break. Thirty three runs against in five games. What are the chances Oakland sweeps them with those tired arms...I have a feeling they might.
3-2 +1.55Comment -
Oakland 100 (BJ)
