Overall, the Angels are 2-3 in those games. Santana is a strong 9-2 with an ERA of 3.45 away from home this season. In his career against the Rays, Santana is 3-3 but his ERA is a lofty 6.21. Santana was hammered in his last outing versus Tampa, allowing nine hits and five runs over 5.2 innings.

He?s been a beast at Tropicana Field, going 7-1 with a stellar 2.21 ERA in 13 starts this year. The rays have won three straight games with Shields on the mound and are 8-2 in his last 10 starts. The UNDER has been a solid bet when Shields pitches of late. The UNDER is 5-2 in his last seven starts.

Sheets hasn?t been horrible over that span but he has allowed 12 runs over 28 innings, which is high for a pitcher of his caliber. Sheets has seen a lot of the Astros over his career. This will be his 28th start against Houston after compiling a record a 12-8 to go along with a solid 3.72 ERA. The UNDER has cashed five consecutive times with Sheets on the mound.

Rockies are 2-7 in their last 9 games following a win.
