Money Line: -143.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the LA Angels.
A couple of starters who have seen better days go head-to-head on Saturday night and only one will walk away with a victory. The visitors hand the ball to James Shields (4-10, 5.42 ERA) who looked decent in his last start vs. the soft-hitting Braves on Sunday, allowing two runs off six hits over seven innings of work. To his credit, Shields now has three consecutive quality starts, but we're still obviously hesitant to say that the veteran has "turned the corner." Note that Shields is a horrible 1-4 with a ballooned 6.94 ERA on the road this year. The home side counters with Matt Shoemaker (4-9, 4.45) who would give up three earned runs off five hits while also striking out four over six innings in a 9-5 victory over the hard-hitting Orioles on Friday. Shoemaker's win/loss record is not entirely indicative of how he's actually played this year as he's put together a stretch of seven quality starts in his last eight trips to the hill. While he's just 1-4 at home, he's posted a respectable 3.86 ERA. Until Shields can string together a few more decent outings, we're going to remain unconvinced, while all signs do indeed point to Shoemaker having a strong second half. The price is right on this one, play on the ANGELS.
