triple-dime bet 978 ANA (-125) Sportbet vs 977 LOS
Analysis: My 10* IL Rivalry GOY is on the LA Angels at 10:05 ET.
The Angels and Dodgers met for a€ three-game series back on June 11-13. It was the final series at the end on a long 14-game road trip for the Angels and for the Dodgers, they were completing a 13-game homestand. The Angels swept the dodgers 10-1, 4-2 and 6-5, marking the first time they had done so (at Dodger Stadium) in 14 years of IL play. The teams opened a three-game series last night in Anaheim with the Angels making it four straight wins over the Dodgers this season, winning 6-3. Should anything change tonight? I think not. The Angels are now an impressive 16-6 since Kendry Morales broke his leg in a home plate celebration back on May 29, while the Dodgers have dropped EIGHT of their last 10 (FIVE straight), starting with that Angels' three-game sweep in Dodger Stadium. Rookie John Ely starts for the Dodgers and Joel Pineiro for the Angels. Ely's first ML start came back on April 28 and he struggled at the Mets (6 IP / 6 hits / 5 ERs) in a 7-3 loss. He then went 3-1 (team was 5-1) over his next six starts, posting a 1.80 ERA. However, either Ely has "run out of gas" or the league has caught up to him. He's 0-2 (team is 1-2) over his last four starts, allowing 23 hits and 15 ERs over 14.2 innings (9.20 ERA). As for Pineiro, he was thought to be a "star in waiting" back with Seattle in the early part of the 2000s. He went 14-7 (3.24) in '02 and 16-11 (3.78) in '03 but from 2004-08 (for Seattle, Boston and St Louis), was 35-47 with a 5.34 ERA. However, he got things sorted out last year with the Cards. He opened 4-0, struggled in losing nine of his next 11 but then went 8-0 with 2.87 ERA over an 11-start stretch (7/3-9/1) in which the Cards won all 11 of his starts. He finished 15-12 with a 3.49 ERA, earning him a two-year, $16 million free agent deal with the Angels. Pineiro has been streaky all season for the Angels. He opened with a 1.77 ERA in his first three starts, then allowed 21 hits and 15 ERs (14.46 ERA) over 9.1 innings of his next two outings. He followed with an 0.84 ERA over his next three but then posted an 8.61 ERA over his next four outings. However, he's allowed just two ERs (and eight hits) over 17 innings of his last two starts (1.06 ERA), earning consecutive wins with a 12-2 KW ratio. That includes a five-hit, complete game 10-1 win over the Dodgers on June 11 (he's 3-0 with a 2.67 ERA in four career starts against the Dodgers). Let's note that while Pineiro owns a 6.80 ERA on the road, his home ERA is 2.40. Dodgers woes continue tonight.

Good luck...Larry

double-dime bet 961 STL / 962 TOR Under 7.5 Bookmaker.com
Analysis: I'm playing on St. Louis and Toronto to finish UNDER the total. Yesterday's series opener was high-scoring, finishing well above the total. I expect this evening's game to be much lower-scoring.

Romero gets the call for the home team and he's been superb here at Toronto. In six home starts, he's gone 4-1 with a 1.69 ERA and 0.854 WHIP.

He's averaged a whopping eight innings per start here and has an impressive 50 K's, with just 15 walks, in 48 innings here. Not surprisingly, the UNDER is 5-1 in his six starts here.

Meanwhile, Chris Carpenter checks in at 8-1 with a 2.83 ERA and 1.151 WHIP, averaging 6.8 innings per start. Carpenter, an ex-member of the Jays, has made one start against his former team. That was back in 2005. He returned to his former stomping grounds and tossed a complete-game one-hit shutout. He had 10 K's and 1 walk. Talk about dominance.

Even with yesterday's game finishing above the total, the Jays have seen the UNDER go 20-15 at home while the Cards have seen the UNDER go 20-15 on the road. The Cards have also still seen the UNDER go a highly profitable 29-15-1 their last 45 night games.

Including Carpenter's previously mentioned start here, the UNDER is 3-1 the last four times that these teams faced each other. Carpenter wants to ride into town and deliver another big outing while Romero will be anxious not to get shown up by a former fan favorite and I expect a well-pitched affair. *8
