The Coach's MLB Heavy Hitter - (Bigtime Blowout Potential)
(MLB) Boston vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -153.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -153.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Win
The Los Angeles Angels and the Boston Red Sox are coming off an off-day as last night's game 3 of this four-game series got postponed due to heavy raining in L.A. They'll play a double-header Monday instead, and I like the Angels here in the later of the two games.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Red Sox hand the ball to Steven Wright (3-2, 4.15 ERA) who'll make his fifth start of the season and first since June 4. The 30 year old right-hander has worked a total of 11 games with bullpen appearances and starts combined this season but has failed to nail down a spot in the rotation. The Angels will counter with Andrew Heaney (3-0, 1.32) who'll make his fifth start of the year as well. While Wright has failed to impress, Heany has been extremely dominant in his previous four starts and he's off seven scoreless innings of five-hit ball at Safeco Field.
2. Home Cookin' - The Angels have won six of their last seven at home at Angel Stadium of Anaheim and they're 8-3 in their last 11 home games versus Boston.
3. X-Factor - Kole Calhoun was 3-for-3 with two homers in Saturday's 3-0 victory.
Selection: This is a play on the Los Angeles Angels (8*)
