triple-dime bet 972 ANA (-135) Sportbet vs 971 COL
Analysis: My 10* IL Game of the Year is on the LA Angels at 3:35 ET.
The Angels have won three straight AL West titles (five of last six) but struggled out of the gate this year. The team lost seven straight from April 30-May 6 but have gotten things turned around since then. Most felt as if the team's momentum was dashed when catcher Kendry Morales was lost for the season with a broken leg back on May 29 but the Angels have gone 18-8 since that time, averaging a healthy 5.38 RPG! The problem lately has been that the Rangers have caught fire, going 19-5 in June (including an 11-game win streak from June 12-24). Texas leads the Angels by 4 1/2 games heading into Sunday's action, with the teams slated for a three-game series in Anaheim come Tuesday. The LAST thing the Angels want to do is head into that series off a loss. Rookie Jhoulys Chacin will be on the mound for the visiting Rockies today. He made a few appearances last season and has made 10 starts since May this year. He opened 2-0, not allowing an earned run in 14.1 innings (14-5 KW ratio). However, he was 1-6 with a 5.59 ERA over his next seven starts and took a four-game losing streak into his Tuesday start vs the Red Sox and Jon Lester. He came up big in that game, not allowing a run in 6.2 innings, despite allowing five walks and four hits (Rockies won 2-1). Ervin Santana goes for the Angels and he's off a 6-3 win vs the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing eight hits and three ERs in seven innings. That ended a BRUTAL two-start stretch in which he had allowed 17 hits and 10 ERs over just 10 innings (9.00 ERA). However, Santana had been pitching VERY well entering that stretch. After opening the season 1-3 with a 4.40 ERA in his first seven starts (team was 3-4), Santana had won five straight outings (from May 15-June 5), posting a 1.80 ERA. Chacin is just "learning the ropes" while Santana's been a solid home pitcher since arriving in Anaheim back in 2005. What's more, he'll face a Colorado team which has struggled all season vs righties away from home. The Rockies are 11-14 in those games but more importantly, are averaging a WOEFUL 3.62 RPG in those 25 contests. As for the Angels, they are a PERFECT 6-0 at home in day games this season, averaging 6.0 RPG! "Sixes are wild" this afternoon in Anaheim and the Angels get the EASY win!

Good luck...Larry

INTERLEAGUE SUNDAY NIGHT GAME OF THE YEAR

Our Selection: Yankees Opponent: Dodgers Line: -108
Analysis: At 8:05 pm, our Interleague Sunday Night Game of the Year is on the New York Yankees over the Los Angeles Dodgers. One of the best older lefthanders in the American League will face off against one of best younger lefthanders in the National League when Andy Pettitte and Clayton Kershaw take the mound in Dodger Stadium in the ESPN prime time game tonight. There may be 16 years difference in their age, but so far in 2010 there is very little difference in their numbers. Both Pettitte and Kershaw are having fabulous 2010 campaigns, putting up great win percentages, low ERAs (although Pettitte's is absurd at 2.48) and decent strikeouts to walks ratio. Kershaw is much more of a power pitcher who still tends to put too many men on base via free passes, something which could bite him hard tonight against the Yankees. Still, it wouldn't surprise too many if this game goes the way of Friday night's showdown, a 2-1 Yankee victory. You might think with the many years that Pettitte has put in - and with three of those seasons over in the National League - that he would have a bunch of starts at Dodger Stadium, so it may be surprising to know that he's only started three times here. But he's made the most of those starts, going 2-0 with 15 strikeouts and just three walks in 20 innings. Los Angeles also has a losing record vs. lefties this season (including that 2-1 defeat Friday vs. Sabathia), and are 4-10 in interleague play. Finally, the Dodgers are a poor 14-19 at night with Kershaw on the mound, while the Yankees are 25-9 at night behind Pettitte. Take the Yankees.


SUNDAY BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP CLUB WINNER!

Our Selection: Rangers Opponent: Astros Line: -160
Analysis: At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Texas Rangers over the Houston Astros. This is the classic case of a really good pitcher (Roy Oswalt) simply pitching for an inferior team. The veteran righthander has been outstanding this season but despite his heroics, he has a record (5-9) that pretty much reflects the record of the really bad team for which he is a member. And after all, it's not like the starter that Texas is sending to the hill - righthander Tommy Hunter - is a slouch. The 23-year-old has been every bit as good as Oswalt this season, albeit in a much shorter period of time. But the key for him in this game is that he pitches for one of the hottest teams in baseball and there likely won't be much that Oswalt will be able to do about that. The battle of the Lone Star State has been a bit of a mis-match this season as the Rangers are 4-1 in 2010 heading into the final game between these two and 9-2 in the last 11 played. Indeed the only positive thing Houston can go into this game with (besides the fact that they have their ace heading to the hill) is that they are the only team to have beaten the Rangers in their last 12 games heading into this evening. Can lightning strike twice in a three-game series? Highly unlikely. Championship Club play on the Rangers.
