The set-up: The Angels will be eager to get back on track here after the Blue Jays took two of three from them over the weekend. Here's the perfect opponent to get back on track against, as the toothless Royals fell 11-3 in Houston yesterday afternoon. The visitors go with Tyler Skaggs on the mound this afternoon, while the home side goes with Brad Keller.

The pitchers: Skaggs is so far 6-4 with a 2.81 ERA. Skaggs' last start was skipped over because of hamstring tightness, but he's good to go tonight. Skaggs has been a pleasant surprise for the Angels this season and note that he's been "lights out" on the road to this point as well with a 5-1, 2.27 ERA record.

Keller is so far 1-2 with a 2.63 ERA. Keller has made the most of his time in the rotation in place of the injured Eric Skoglund, but there's no question that the rookie faces a stiff test tonight.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but LA is already 35-24 (+8 units) against right-handed starters this year, while Kansas City is only 11-14 against southpaws. I think Skaggs overpowers this weak hitting Royals line-up, and I expect Keller to take a step back against the Angels power line-up. Lay the price, play on LA.
