This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the LA Angels.

The visitors hand the ball to Eduardo Rodriguez (5-2, 3.59 ERA) who gave up two runs off five hits over 6 1/3's innings in a win over the Yankees on Saturday. The rookie has now given up just five earned runs over his last 17 1/3's innings of work and has to be feeling pretty confident he can keep the momentum rolling here as he's already 3-0 with an almost non-existent 0.69 ERA on the road this season. The home side counters with Hector Santiago (6-4, 2.33 ERA) who won a second-straight start by giving up one run over seven innings to the Mariners on Friday, walking no one and striking out seven in the process. And a date at home is just what the doctor ordered to get keep the momentum rolling for Santiago as he's 2-1 with a tiny 2.25 ERA so far in LA this season. Both starters come in on top form, but we're going to give the slight nod to Santiago in this match-up, experience and home field advantage tip the scales in his favor today and nd in our professional opinion, that's more than enough reason to justify in laying this price, do so with confidence on the ANGELS.
