Los Angeles Angels at Tampa Bay Rays [7:10 PM ET]

Angels: Ervin Santana hasn?t been sharp over his last five starts, going 2-2 with one no-decision. Over that span, Santana has allowed 17 runs in 33.1 innings of work. 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.

The UNDER is 6-3 in the last 9 meetings.

Key Injuries - 3B Evan Longoria (.278; wrist) is on the 15-day DL.

Moehler has only allowed seven runs in his last 26 innings of work, while walking just one batter over that stretch. Moehler?s hot streak could come to an end tonight.

Brewers (-240, O/U 8): Ben Sheets takes the hill for the Brewers tonight after losing three of his last four outings. 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.

Brewers are 10-3 in their last 13 games on grass.

He is 5-3 in his career against the Dodgers, although his ERA is over five.

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