LATE NIGHT MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -143.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -143.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Loss
Wins have been hard to come by for the LA Angels of late, but they closed out last week with back-to-back triumphs at Boston to end an eight-game losing streak. I like the Angels to ride that momentum to another victory here against the reeling Pirates.
Pittsburgh has dropped eight straight and tonight's starter, right-hander Mitch Keller (0-1, 10.50 ERA), has made just three starts in the big leagues. He has not pitched in the majors since June 18 after getting knocked around for 14 earned runs across 12 frames. As for Halos' Jose Suarez (2-3, 6.22 ERA), while he also has struggled in recent outings the left-hander should not have much to fear from this weak Pittsburgh lineup.
Pirates are 1-7 in their last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter. Angels are 7-0 in their last 7 interleague home games vs. a right-handed starter. Pirates are 5-23 in their last 28 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
8* play on Los Angeles Angels.
