NY YANKEES (Chacon) -120 vs. LA ANGELS (Escobar)
Keep your eye on Shawn Chacon in 2006, as he looks
to build on the strong start he had for the Yankees after
joining the team late in the year (2.79 ERA in 12 starts).
He stopped the Angels cold in game #4 of the ALDS in
2005, and he'll be backed up by a devastating lineup
looking to exact revenge from the team that bounced them
from the past season last October. LA can be tough on
righthanders, but the Yankees average more runs per
game vs. righties on the road at night than the Angels
do at home. Kelvim Escobar did not start very often last
year, so he may not last too long, and the Angels bullpen
got a workout at Safeco earlier this week. taking the
better hitting team with the better pitcher at the short road
price.
