Anaheim -115:

Two teams headed in opposite directions in this one.

Cleveland is playing very bad ball, offensively and defensively. This team is making mental mistakes. I follow this team daily on TV or the radio and this is a team in total dissarray. They are pressing bigtime to score and the mental focus is just not there.

Cleveland is averaging just around 2.5 runs per game there last 10 or more and just can't get anything together.

Anaheim, on the other hand, has put on an offensive explosion as of late. They are averaging 8 runs per game their last 10 games and 10.4 runs per game their last 5.

Look for Washburn to get a little revenge on his opening day loss to the tribe. Washburn pitched very well after the first inning in that game , and will be prepaired for this game.

Drese on the other hand continues to struggle with his control. In the 25.5 innings pitched by him this year, he has walked 18 batters. Washburn on the other hand, has only walked 7 in 26.6 innings this year.

Look for home plate umpire Joe Brinkman to play a big part in this one as well. Brinkman has a very tight strikezone and this is not gonna be good for Drese who already has problems with his control.

Look for Anaheim to have another big offensive night tonight. They should have plenty of runners on the whole game.

Tribe's bullpen also has been struggling a bit of late. In the last 10 games, their bullpen has an ERA of 8.46.

Almost looks like a good "OVER" play as well, but with the Tribe's anemic offense, just couldn't pull the trigger. I do expect the Angels to put some runs up today.

Good luck.

Have to agree with you about the Tribe. They are spinning out of control. Watch out for the play on the Totals. I came up with the same scenario yesterday. The Tribes anemic offense won't produce runs, so I took the under at 9.5 looking for a 5-2 or 6-1 score. I was only off by 14.5 runs

Angels straight up are a better choice.

When do you think they'll fire Charlie. If they keep going like this Shapiro will need to save face and do something?

Tito......Think we all new it was just a matter of time with the Tribe. Kinda shocked everyone with that amazing start. Shapiro was looking like a genius after the good start, but we'll just have to see how he reacts when the pressure builds a little more.....wouldn't surprise me one bit if Manual ends of getting fired sometime this year.

The team is so bad fundamentally right now, it's unreal. You were right in thinking the under yesterday with how the Tribe's offense is right now.....heck, that'll win ya alot of Unders on this team as of late. Reason I stayed away from the Under yesterday is just because of how Hot offensively the Angels were this weekend. But now, You almost have to stay away from the Unders as well due to the Tribe's lack of defense. Lot's of unearned runs due to errors and mental mistakes.

Definately can't play Over when the Tribe's playing either, just not putting up any runs. BEST BET is just to stay away from totals on this team for a while.


It's getting to the point with this team, where you can almost bet against the Tribe blindly every game until they finally win 2 in a row.

Good luck today Tito.
