TAMPA BAY (Faria) -105 over LA ANGELS (Nolasco)
The Rays were moving up in the AL East standings
before the All-Star break (6-4, +$320 last 10) and
they have a terrific pitcher in Jake Faria set to take
the mound at Anaheim tonight, Faria comes in with
a 2.11 ERA in his six starts (+$450) and Tampa Bay
has been a profitable team in night games on the
road so far (+$440). Ricky Nolasco has led LA to
defeats in 13 of his first 18 outings (-$720, with a
5.06 ERA) and the team was fading badly prior to
the break (3-7, -$240 last 10, averaging just 2.5
runs per game in those contests). An opportunity
for the Rays to stay close in their division race.
