Following the Halos to New York. Dropping Cleveland series 1-2 with a crushing final defeat, losing Santana (hit by a comebacker listed day to day) and taxing the bullpen the final score 2-14. Santana out of the game Indians smelled blood pounding on the relievers. Mike Soccia raised the white flag taking out his starting line up off the field allowing some rest looking to this 4 game Yankees series in the Bronx. Angels are playing their 15th consecutive game (8/7 was a make up game with the White Sox) and the momentum has halted or I would consider back to square one. Midway into this road trip the record is 2-2 and this series has the feel of being a grind. The scores may come, but I'll look for quality pitching with Angels LHP Joe Saunders, another young gun, and Yankees RHP Chris Lidle, 5-1 since July, and better defense to keep the runners from cashing in. Angels called up Chris Bootcheck from AAA Salt Lake for 3rd stint. 2005 split season with Salt Lake and Angels, 5 appearance as a Angel 0-1 3.38 (18.2 innings with 7ER) recorded 6 innings 1ER in Yankees stadium last season. Scott Shield and K-Rod did not pitch yesterday. This may sound more of speculation than analysis but, coming off momentum killer games I have a feeling the runs are going to fall short.
Buying 0.5 runs.
