MLB - 925 Los Angeles Angels @ 926 Detroit Tigers
(Starting Pitchers: D. Haren vs D. Smyly)
I don't expect a good night for any of these two pitchers, especially against such powerful offenses. The Angels will start Haren and he has allowed 12 runs and 12 hits in 7IP over his last two outings. He had some extra rest before this contest, but I don't believe his problem was tiredness. Over his last seven starts, his FIP was lower than 4 just once and with Detroit being a top hitting team against RHP, I believe Haren will have another poor outing today.
On the other hand, Smyly was recalled by the Tigers and he wasn't being very impressive in the minors with a 6.11 ERA and 4.11 FIP in seven starts. He is a pitcher who heavily struggles against RH batters and with the red hot Angels offense being exclusively composed by RH batters, I believe Smyly is going to have a very problematic game.
With both pitchers heavily struggling against two powerful offenses, I believe we are into a slugfest and so, I'll be taking the Over in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 925/926 Over 9.5 (w/ D. Haren & D. Smyly) @ -120 / 1.83 on 5Dimes
