Playing 4 games today:
OVER 8.5 MILWAUKEE -120 (1 UNIT)
UNDER 9.5 CLEVELAND -115 (1 UNIT)
TEXAS -145 (1 UNIT)
ANAHEIM -160 (2 UNIT)
Not much time for write-ups today, but will point out a key factor in my laying 2 units on Anaheim:
Anaheim, simply put hits lefties very well. As a team this year, they are hitting .297 vs them even though over the last 10 games, they've been well below that.
Parque has been called up from Charlotte and gets the start for the White Sox today. Parque has always struggled against the Angels. In 6 career starts, he is just 1-4 with a 6.82 ERA vs the Halos.
Several Anaheim players have hit him very well in the past. These are some averages of Angels players that have really had good success vs him over the last 4.5 years:
Anderson .385
Erstad .462
Glaus .333
Molina .444
Speizio .500
But the KEY angle in this one is Parque who, basically the only reason, he was called up from the minors is because Todd Ritchie went on the DL. For Charlotte, he was just 7-9 with a 6.47 ERA
In case you are wondering, Parque had shoulder surgery last year, and has been in the minors trying to reclaim velocity that he lost because of the injury.
The velocity just isn't there yet, and if the Angels have hit Parque well in the past which they have, I expect today to be like batting practice for the Angels.
Of course I'm figuring many more factors in than just this one, but wanted to point out an angle I'm applying the most weight to in this game.
Feel free to comment on any of the games, I will try to be back on late afternoon.
Good luck :thumb:
