You can't go wrong with taking the Angels as under dogs right now even if it is against MLB's best team record wise. The Dodgers send Chris Capuano to the mound who is 8-2 with a 2.82 ERA. However, it's been long coming for him to digress and against the Angels who came off a series scoring 28 runs in 3 games and Pujols has monster numbers against Capuano as he's 18-33 with 5 HR. Tori Hunter is also 7-15 with a HR and the others help combine for a .472 average and a 1.406 OPS in 72 AB. The Angels are hitting .318 with 7.78 runs per 9 over their last 10 games vs. LHP and are 39-14 in their last 53 vs. the NL West as well as 41-17 overall in their last 58 in interleague play. Dodgers meanwhile are 18-42 in interleague play vs. a winning team. I like the Richards kid going for the Angels as he seems to have good stuff striking out 8 against a Mariners team that has been hitting lately. Capuano lately has benefited from opponents having a .228 BABIP. Angels are 3rd over the last 14 days with a .337 BABIP. Something is bound to break and I'm putting my money on it being Capuano.
