MLB April 21th (writeups inside)

Game: Detroit Tigers at LA Angels
Line: LA Angels -106

Galarraga has been pitching very well, in his last 2 outings he has pitched 13.3 innings allowing just 9 hits and 1 er, historically he dominates this angel lineup, they bat him for just .143 combined and adding that the angels bats have been cold lately just hitting for 7 and 4 hits in their last 2 games, it doesnt help them that much going against a hot pitcher who historically has dominated them, on the other hand Weaver got rocked in his last outing and historically doesnt matchup well against the tigers, he allows .383 in 47 AB and I dont see why should change tonight, his last outing against the tigers was very good at detroit but this time the tigers arrive with their hot bats, they have hit for 9,9 and 11 hits against really good opposition in seattle, they went against hernandez, bedard and silva taking 2 out of 3 games.  In the bullpen area none of the teams has been good lately but historically the tigers matchup better against the Angels, I think we will see oliver from the angels because he hasnt pitched since the 14th, and the tigers hit him hard, actually there is no one pitcher from the angels who has been really good against this lineup, on the other hand my only concern is Juan Rincon but I dont think we will see him, I am looking for 7 strong innings from Galarraga followed for Seay-Perry and Rodney. GL !!!

Game: Texas Rangers at Toronto Blue Jays.
Total: 8.5

Both teams are really cold, their bats have been slow down in the past 2 games, texas hitting 7 and 7 hits and Toronto hitting 7 and 5 hits and now they get to play each other with 2 pitchers that have been on fire lately.  Mccarthy has thrown 11 innings allowing just 9 hits and 6 runs in the past 2 games, but he gave up 4 homers of those 9 hits, I dont expect to see that tonight against this jays lineup who has struggle against mccarthy, historically they hit him for just .180 and last mccarthy faced them at rogers center he allowed 6 hits in 6 ip and 2 er, I am looking for an outing about the same. In the other hand we have Halladay who has been on fire also he has allowed 19 hits in 21 ip in the last 3 games, now he gets this cold lineup at home which historically they matchup pretty well against him but I dont see it tonight, I see a strong outing from halladay followed by downs and ryan. The bullpens...Believe it or not the rangers bullpen matchup better against the jays(historically), having those terrible numbers at the moment I think they comeback in this series starting tonight.. They jays bullpen hasnt been that well against the rangers but being at home they are tough as their era indicates and whip... So I will look for a tough close game tonight with a nice bullpen from both parts so it would be a slow scoring game...GL !!!

Game: LA Dodgers at Houston Astros.
Line: LA Dodgers -164

I wont lay that much juice even the -133 at -1 but I have to ride the hot team here in the first 5 innings, plain and simple they dodgers are hitting the ball extremely well and having those numbers against ortiz doesnt help the astros, adding ortiz gives up too many walks I see the dodgers winning in the first 5. My concern here is the bullpen, historically they dont matchup well against the astros so I could see a comeback... Ortiz allows a .301 batting average against the dodgers even he didnt pitch that bad in his last outing I cant see him shutting down this dodgers lineup... On the other hand Kershaw has been on fire allowing just 3 hits in 12 ip this season and 2 er, he has an amazing curveball and I can see him slowing down the astros lineup for at least the first 5 innings... The astros offense hasnt been that bad lately but I will take the risk with the hot offense and the hot pitcher tonight against Ortiz an company for the first 5 innings...GL!!!

Play: LA Dodgers -0.5 First 5 at -116 for 0.725 units.

Actually my first lean was the rangers, it is such a big number, I just dont like to feel like is a flip coin even if the odds are great, my bad I know but I like feel that out of 10 times I would win 6 times on my sides... the numbers indicate the rangers has been solid against halladay but they way the rangers have hit the past couple of games I couldnt pull the triger I thought it was safer the under but it has more value the rangers ML...
