Thursday MLB

Here we go again to Jacobs Field. Maybe I didn't sense the tenacity of the Indians in game #1 of the series when they knocked out Angels young phenom Jered Weaver in the 6th and tied the game. Maybe the energy shifted in game #2 as Lacky struggled and though the Halos hit Westbrook in the early going he got out of jams and grew stronger to shut down the Angels in late innings. Indians taking their stand, but Angels are not going to lay down here and this should be a battle. Halos still hitting lefties, Indians bullpen is still an adventure and very rare to get 9 hits with no runs. Last time Halos got shut out (6/05 @TB Angels had 11 hits no run) they came back to beat D-Rays and Kazmir 12-2 and that was Ervin Santana getting the win. It may not be as easy for Ervin this go around. I'll just look for runs today.

LAA/CLE OVER 9.5 at -108 for 2 units(W)
Santana gone after striking out the first batter with 3 pitches. Comebacker hits him and now the Angels are looking at a long night.
1-0 +2.00 units
