MLB Thursday

Los Angeles Angels is the team to beat in AL West and they got Texas hot on their heels. Backers are fairly comfortable with Iron man Big John Lackey taking the mound against Ryan Rowland Smith and Seattle Mariners. Why not when Anaheim has been tough on visiting opponents Halos taking 60% of home games at 41-26.
John Lackey coming off a impressive pitchers dual in KC going 9 innings allowing 1 run. He has been quality 5 out of last 7 starts. On Mariners side Rowland Smith has 3 quality starts in a row also 5 out of last 7 and Mariners have played the Angels toe to toe this season 10-9, of those games 8 with one run difference. Are we in for another tight pitching low scoring game? I don't like tonight's pitching spot. Lackey's last 7 with 5 quality starts Angels logged 3-4, he's logged 333 pitches in last 3 and his backers are losing money 12-10 team record not enough to cover the juice. Seattle's Rowland Smith went 8 innings in last start scattered 4 with 3 ER looked good, but away games are going Over and he's thrown 327 pitches in last 3. This is a likely regression spot for one or both pitchers and the Total is 8. Angel Compos behind the plate has a pretty good strike zone, but he's averaging 9 runs. L.A. is nearly 59% Over at home and facing LHP is 57% Over

OVER 8(L)
