Why we like the Angels on Saturday at +110...this is one of those valuable home dogs who are playing the better baseball at this point in the season and will be facing a pitcher who is looking to regain form in a ballpark where he has shown little success in. This Angels team comes in as winners of their last 10 of 13 games where they have averaged 5 RPG while allowing just 3 RPG during that stretch. On the other hand, the Rangers have lost their last 7 of 12 games while averaging 4 RPG and allowing 4 RPG during that stretch. This is a Rangers team, who throughout the stretch of the entire season, have averaged 4.5 RPG, so they seem to have hit a soft spot offensively come September. The Angels will be pitching Garret Richards who is clearly pitching his best ball of the season where he brings in a 2.87 era in his last 15 innings while allowing 13 hits and just 1 HR. This Rangers team has a combined 56 ABs off of Richards where they have a .268 average with just 1 HR. Richards faced this Rangers team on August 6th IN Los Angeles where he allowed just 3 runs through 6 innings on 5 Ks, 1 BB & 0 HRs. The Rangers will be pitching Derek Holland who brings a 4.32 era over his last 16 innings where he allowed 4 HRs on 12 BBs and 11 Ks. It should be noted that those numbers were in the pitcher friendly ballparks of the Athletics and Mariners as well as a start against the Astros; which should play to the advantage of the Angels IN Los Angeles. There are a few reasons to fade Holland in this matchup and we will start by talking about his recent troubles on the road. In Hollands last three road starts, he allowed a combined 9 runs through 16 innings on 17 hits, 3 HRs, 12 Ks & 11 BBs. The room for concern with Holland lies with his BB totals as they have steadily increased up to this point in the season. To take his road problems a step further, we will examine his last three road starts IN Los Angeles against the Angels. In those three starts, Holland allowed a combined 14 runs through 18 innings on 21 hits, 3 HRs, 11 Ks & 6 BBs. This Angels team is familiar with Holland as they have a combined 146 ABs with a .301 average and 9 HRs. Our final reason for a fade against Holland is because of the fact that he sees his 3.07 season era rise to a 3.71 era when pitching on 4 Days of Rest (which he will be doing on Saturday). We will play on the Angels at +110.

Drivers to Watch
Kyle Busch (5/1) - Although he's the favorite, how can you not put a wager on Busch at this short track? In his past nine starts in Richmond, he has four wins, two runner-ups, a 5th-place finish and a 6th-place finish. In total, Busch has top-5 finishes in 12-of-17 (71%) career starts at Richmond, and 28 career top-5's in 52 starts on short tracks. He’s also been racing extremely well heading into racing's second season with two wins in his past four starts and top-8 showings in eight of his past 13 races. The payoff isn’t too exciting, but the smart play on Saturday night is definitely the No. 18 car.
Clint Bowyer (12/1) - The defending champion of this fall race has already clinched a spot in the Chase, so he'll go all out to win at this track for the third time since 2008. Bowyer also finished second at this track in April, marking his sixth top-7 finish in his past eight Richmond races and lowering his career average finish to 9.1 at this venue. His average finish this season has been 11.8 thanks to 11 top-6 showings, five of which have occurred in his past 10 races. With double-digit odds, Bowyer is certainly worthy of a sizable wager here.
Jeff Gordon (10/1) - One of many desperate drivers, Gordon also needs this win for a shot at making 2013 a meaningful campaign. He has put himself in this position with four strong finishes in his past six starts -- 7th at Brickyard, 2nd at Pocono, 7th at Bristol and 2nd at Atlanta last week. Although Gordon hasn’t won at Richmond since 2000, he’s been awfully close recently with a pair of runner-ups and two third-place showings in his past eight starts on this track. Gordon's odds are favorable enough to justify a small wager here.
Martin Truex Jr. (20/1) - Truex Jr. continues his late-season surge, banging out four top-3's in his past 11 starts despite crashing twice during this span. One of those came last week in Atlanta. Although Truex has never won on a short track, he does have five career top-5 finishes at this length. His Richmond history isn't checkered with much success, but three straight starts of ninth or better is at least something to build on. He also tested on this track, which can only improve his chances. Don’t wager more than a unit on this darkhorse, but increasing that unit 20 times is not too shabby of a payoff.
NASCAR Betting Federated Auto Parts 400 Preview
Richmond International Raceway will play host to a nerve-wracking Federated Auto Parts 400. There are plenty of talented drivers yet to qualify for the Chase, but not enough spots for all of them.
Here is our betting preview.
Favorite: Kyle Busch (5-1)
Kyle has raced extremely well at Richmond winning four times in 17 starts at the .75 mile oval track. Busch, who is fifth in the standings, won last week in Atlanta and a victory at Richmond would tie him for the top Chase seed.
Live dog: Martin Truex, Jr. (20-1)
Truex, Jr. will need to put in a strong performance to qualify for the Chase and a victory Saturday would basically see the New Jersey native advance. Truex finished 17th at Richmond earlier in the year after starting ninth in the grid. The track has traditionally gotten the best of him as he has an average finish of 23.3 over the past five years there, but he'll be gunning for a solid result as he looks to get to the playoffs.
Long shot: Ryan Newman (40-1)
Newman has fared well at Richmond posting five top-10 results and one top-five over the past five seasons. He's maintained composure as he still looks for a home in 2014 (though he's expected to move to the No. 31 Caterpillar car). Newman won at the Brickyard 400, so a victory here would give him claim to at least a wildcard position.
Key stat: Kevin Harvick, who won the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond back in April, has started 25 races at the track and has yet to record a DNF.
Weather: Forecasts are calling for clear conditions and temperatures in the mid-70s.
Notable quotable:
"Well, after last year, this is going to be easy. We went through so much last year that I think it allows us to be more relaxed, be more prepared knowing that you got to race as hard as you can until the final lap. I think the way (last year) prepared us was knowing no matter what happens, you can't ever give up. You just have to put every bit of effort into every single moment, every lap. If the car's off, you've got to work on it. Sometimes take big swings at it. If your car's perfect, don't get complacent." Jeff Gordon on the pressure of battling for a Chase spot.
