Baseball Play of the Day April 12, 2013 7:08 AM by GT Staff

Houston Astros at Los Angeles Angels -185 at 7:05 p.m. PT

Somehow Houston won two games in Seattle but that tiny streak will come to an abrupt end as they are primed to get swept by the slow starting Halo’s who have dropped four straight games with one of the best teams in baseball. They look to explode at any time and start a big winning streak. This is a good spot to start it and score some runs under the lights, we will lay the -1½ runs looking for the blowout.

976 Los Angeles Angels -1½ RUNS +120

Warriors at Lakers (Fri.): The Lakers are finally in a favorable situation and, despite being likely favored by a couple of baskets or so, they should keep the playoff hopes alive with a win, heading onto Sunday’s home game against the Spurs. LAKERS.

2 UNIT = Baltimore Orioles @ New York Yankees - ORIOLES TO WIN (+142)
Listed Pitchers: Gonzalez vs Sabathia
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.84 units)

The Orioles have started the season 5-4 with a 4-2 road record. They are coming off 2 straight wins in Boston. The Yankees are 4-4 on the season and 1-2 at home. They opened the season losing 2 of 3 to Boston at home and then Detroit on the road, but they've won 3 straight games to get back to .500 on the year. The Orioles will send Miguel Gonzalez to the mound. He has one start in Tampa Bay where he went 6.1 innings giving up 5 hits and 2 earned runs while striking out 4 and walking 2. Last year he was 9-4 with a 3.25 ERA, .235 OBA and 1.21 WHIP. He was actually better on the road with a 6-2 record, 2.74 ERA, .214 OBA and 1.05 WHIP. New York sends their ace CC Sabathia to the mound. Sabathia has two starts and two different results. In his first start he gave up 8 hits in 5 innings of work with 5 strikeouts and 4 walks vs the Red Sox. In his last time out he allowed just 4 hits in 7 innings of work with 4 strikeouts and 3 walks. Last year Sabathia was 15-6 with a 3.38 ERA, .238 OBA, and 1.14 WHIP. CC is always solid at home and that shows with his 2.69 ERA, 1.99 OBA, and 0.95 WHIP at Yankee Stadium last year. Last April Sabathia had a 4.58 ERA. Take note that the Orioles are 5-1 in Gonzalez's last 6 starts and 8-3 in his last 11 road starts. Although the Yankees have been hitting well they are coming off two days of being rained out in Cleveland. The Orioles have scored 5+ runs in 6 of their 9 games this season and with Gonzalez on the mound I think we are getting a good underdog price on them tonight.

2 UNIT = Texas Rangers @ Seattle Mariners - UNDER 7 RUNS (-125)
Listed Pitchers: Darvish vs Iwakuma
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.60 units)

Texas took the first game of this series 4-3 last night. Tonight we will see two very good pitchers on the mound in a pitchers friendly park. The Rangers send Yu Darvish to the mound who is 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA to start the year. After going 8.2 innings in his first start being one out away from a perfect game with 14 strikeouts and 0 walks Darvish went just 5 innings giving up 6 hits and 3 earned runs against the Angels. Darvish may have been a little taxed from his long first outing, but after a shorter outing where he didn't reach 90 pitches I think we will see another solid outing from him. Last year he was 16-9 with a 3.90 ERA, .220 OBA and 1.28 WHIP. On the road last year batters hit just .209 against Darvish. The Mariners have Hisashi Iwakuma getting the start today He is 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA, to start the year. He has been amazing giving up just 6 hits in 14 innings of work with 0 walks and 10 strikeouts. Last year he was 9-5 with a 3.16 ERA, .248 OBA, and 1.28 WHIP. At home he was even better with a 2.49 ERA, .229 OBA, and 1.18 WHIP. In their 9 meetings last year in Seattle there was a total of 7 or fewer runs in 7 of those games. Including last night's game 8 of their last 10 meetings in Seattle have had 7 or fewer runs. Note that the Mariners have scored 3 or fewer runs in 8 of their 11 games this year. Take the UNDER here with Darvish and Iwakuma on the mound.
