I see a ton of value here today in the Angels bouncing back from a loss last night. After all they are 41-20 in their last 61 home games in inter league play while the Pirates are 13-53 in their last 66 inter league road games, combining for a 94-33 trend which is a 74% winning percentage and we get them at -112. Angels are also scoring 5.5 runs per 9 over their last 10 games while the Pirates are at just 3.87 with a 4.25 ERA out of their bullpen. They'll start Francisco Liriano who continues to pitch well, but I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel for Liriano. Liriano on just 4 days rest now hast to go on the road out west and face an AL team in a ballpark he has a 7.06 ERA in 4 career starts. Not to mention Liriano has a 1.33 WHIP on the road which certainly does not go with a 2.70 ERA on the road. My opinion he's been lucky at times and his control was good early in the season but 10 BB's over his last 3 starts won't get the job done tonight.
The Angels are 5-0 following a loss in their last 5 home games and are 42-19 in their last 16 inter league games vs. a LH starter. They will send Jerome Williams to the mound who has a 2.63 ERA on the year at home between his 4 starts and 10 overall games covering 37.2 IP where opponents have just a .190 average. He mixes 4 pitches well and the Pirates who are 20th in OPS vs. RHP and 21st on the road should have a hard time considering they have never faced him.
