Los Angeles Angels -146
The Angels made a late season surge last year, finishing first in the American League after a slow start. They will likely have a tough time catching Kansas City, but if they can finish strong again this season, the AL West is still up for grabs. They look good as a small favorite at home versus the Orioles on Saturday.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Angels will send Garrett Richards to the mound, and the 27 year old has been brilliant at home. Richards (11-8, 3.46 ERA) went 7.1 innings, allowing four runs on four hits in a home win over Cleveland in his last start. He's now 7-2 with a 2.36 ERA at home. The Orioles counter with Ubaldo Jimenez, who was hammered by Detroit in his last start, and has struggled on the road all year long.
2. Mike Trout - The 24 year old phenom hit his major league best 33rd home run of the season last night, and he's batting .375 against the Orioles this season.
3. X-Factor - The Angels are 25-9 in Richards' last 34 home starts.
Selection: This is a play on the Los Angeles Angels (Free).
