Sunday Night Baseball Free Pick
(The Spread) – The ESPN Sunday Night Baseball matchup tonight will pit the two L.A. teams against each other when the Angels host the Dodgers at 8:00PM ET.
Odds: Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog have made the Angels –140 money line favorites over the Dodgers, who are +132 on the ML. Tonight’s total is currently sitting at 7.5 runs.
Pitching Matchup: Chad Billingsley will take on Ervin Santana in tonight’s pitching matchup. Billingsley has struggled at times this year, but has won his last two starts and is now 7-6 with a 4.22 ERA. Meanwhile, Santana is 3-8 on the year with a 4.08 ERA over 110.1 innings. He hasn’t picked up a win in six starts.
Public Betting: Of the 4,300-plus wagers on tonight’s game, 54% of MLB public bettors favor the Angels –140.
MLB Free Pick: Take the Halos. The Dodgers are 8-20 in their last 28 road games against the Angels and 3-8 in their last 11 games against their in-state rivals overall. According to latest MLB trends, the boys in blue are just 1-4 in Billingsley’s last five starts against the Angels. Santana hasn’t pitched as poorly as his numbers would indicate and the Halos are 4-1 in his last five interleague starts. We usually don’t recommend laying over –130 on the money line when it comes to betting on baseball, but this is a solid play tonight.
