Joe D'Amico's MLB BEST BET
Take Los Angeles.
This is my Best Bet play.
Game 924.
7:05 pm pst.
Los Angeles is red-hot, winning 5 in a row, including Games 1 and 2 of this series, while Texas, despite clinging to a 4-game lead in the West, has dropped 14 of their 17 contests. The Angels send Hector Santiago to the bump. The LH has won his L4 starts to bring his season numbers up to 7-4 with an ERA of 4.27. The LA lineup has put up 6.75 RPG during those 8 victories. Texas gives Martin Perez the nod. The LH has been shredded in his L2 turns, yielding 17 runs (12 ER's) and 15 hits, in just 9 2/3 IP to bring his stats on the campaign up to 7-6, with a 4.05 ERA. The Rangers pitching staff has allowed foes to post 5 or more runs in 8 of their L10 outings. Los Angeles is 5-0 their L5 at home and 19-7 in Santiago's L26 starts. Texas is 1-5 their L6 on the road and 2-5 their L7 played at Los Angeles. Take the Angels. Thank you.
