#921 LA Angels(AL) -125
2-Units (6:05 P.M. CST)
(Byrd vs Chacin)
Some pitchers simply pitch well against other teams. Paul Byrd has owned Toronto the past few years, allowing only 13 hits in 25 innings with a .151 BA against. Factor in that the LA releivers have a 1.08 ERA in their last 10 games and you have a strong case for Los Angles in this contest. Chacin for Toronto has pitched decently his last 3 outings although Tampa Bay touched him for 5 runs in 5 innings. The problem with Chacin is that his pitch counts tend to go up in early innings, as a result he has only pitched past the 5th inning one time in his last 7 starts. Although the Toronto Bullpen is not the worst out there it certainly isn't the best. They have maintained a 4.64 ERA in their last 10 contests. Look for scoring to be at a minumum in the early innings, but for Los Angeles to prevail at the end.
Take Los Angeles (AL)
Thanks and Good Luck
