10* Los Angeles Angels -104

This game features the 57-44 Tigers at the 62-41 Angels. I have hit every game in this series backing the Angels and will again today. This team is just on fire and there is no reason to lay off today. Public as usual is on the Tigers at a rate of 70% yet this line has not moved to much. Hector Santiago is 2-7 with a 4.02 ERA but is being given a second chance in the rotation today expect him to be highly motivated and the Tigers to just want to get on the bus and head to Baltimore.

Game of the Day: Dodgers at Giants

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants (-108, 7.0)

The San Francisco Giants are hoping new acquisition Jake Peavy can help them salvage Sunday’s series finale against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers, who have pulled one-half game ahead of the Giants in the National League West. The Dodgers have won the first two games of the series by a combined 13-1 while holding the Giants’ offense to nine singles. Peavy, who was acquired from Boston on Saturday for two minor-league pitchers, owns a 14-2 record with a 2.21 ERA in 25 career starts against the Dodgers.

The Giants have lost 18 of their last 24 home games, and the injury bug is proving to be a growing concern. First baseman Brandon Belt (concussion), center fielder Angel Pagan (back) and starting pitcher Matt Cain (right elbow inflammation) are not expected back soon, and catcher Hector Sanchez was placed on the seven-day concussion list Saturday. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez is 13-for-31 in eight games since the All-Star break for the Dodgers, who have won four of their last six.

TV: 8:07 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE HISTORY: The Giants opened as -108 home favorites and that's where they currently sit. The run total opened at 7.0.

INJURY REPORT: N/A.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (11-5, 3.39 ERA) vs. Giants RH Jake Peavy (1-9, 4.72)

Ryu improved to 7-2 on the road this season after holding Pittsburgh to two runs over seven innings Monday. “He probably had the biggest drop in curveball we’ve seen this year as far as depth,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle told MLB.com. “The guy’s got weapons, and he’s a cool cat on the mound.” Ryu allowed eight runs over two innings against the Giants on April 4 before tossing seven scoreless innings against them two weeks later.

Peavy led the American League with 20 home runs allowed, but had been pitching better of late with a 3.91 ERA and eight walks and 26 strikeouts over his past four starts. Adrian Gonzalez is 4-for-11 with two homers against the 33-year-old, who played for Giants manager Bruce Bochy in San Diego from 2002-06. He’s facing Los Angeles for the first time since Aug. 25, 2013, when he allowed one run in a complete-game victory while pitching for Boston.

TRENDS:

* Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings in San Francisco.
* Dodgers are 4-1 in Ryu's last five starts versus the Giants.
* Giants are 5-1 in their last six games as a favorite.
* Under is 7-1-1 in Ryu's last nine road starts.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-four percent of wagers are behind the Dodgers at +100.

Bob Balfe

Detroit Tigers +110

The Tigers hit lefties well and the Angels hit well against right handed pitching. These teams are almost mirror images of each other, but I like how Porcello has pitched on the road this season. Look for the Tigers to make up for getting blanked yesterday. Take Detroit.
