MLB Premium Play 07/29: Los Angeles Angels @ Texas Rangers

MLB - 963 Los Angeles Angels @ 964 Texas Rangers

(Starting Pitchers: J. Weaver vs M. Garza)

Jered Weaver will start for the Angels tonight and he was dominant last Wednesday while shutting out the Twins over eight innings. He has been phenomenal in July by allowing one or fewer runs in four of his starts this month. On my rankings, he is the #2 SP in the league if we consider just the last six outings from each pitcher, with a 1.32 ERA, 2.39 FIP and 3.37 xFIP! Texas's offense has been struggling by being just #25 in the league in both L14 and L30 days, so Weaver should dominate tonight.

Matt Garza looked good in his debut with the Rangers last Wednesday by allowing one-run (zero earned) against the Yankees. However, it's important to note that Garza is struggling this season against RH batters with 4.07 FIP and 4.25 xFIP against them! This is very worrying against the Angels, who have a lineup full of righties. In fact, Garza allowed four earned runs against them in June, so I wouldn't be surprise if something similar happens tonight. I believe the Angels have a good shot to make the upset in here, so I'll be taking them tonight.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 963 Los Angeles Angels ML (w/ J. Weaver) @ +129 / 2.29 on 5Dimes
