I like the Angels they have been hot winning 9 of 11 and have a major bullpen advantage here as Detroit continues to struggle out of the pen with a 5.65 ERA on the road while the Angels have a 2.13 at home. Over the last 10 games Detroit's bullpen has been terrible with a7.59 ERA. LA has been doing a lot of things well and they have a solid history vs. Verlander that gives me the confidence to take the Angels. Angels over 148 AB have a .324 average and .828 OPS vs. Verlander and the way he's going just can't keep up a 0.79 ERA over his last 7 game starts. We saw it with Cliff Lee over the weekend and I believe this is the start we see it with Verlander. 2009-present Verlander has made 9 starts out west mostly vs. the Angels, Mariners, and the A's and he has posted a 5.55 ERA with a 1.47 WHIP and his last 3 at LA resulted in an 8.62 ERA. He opposes a pretty good starter in Dan Haren who has a 3-3 record and a 2.12 ERA and is very capable of getting a win today. Tigers are 7-17 in their last 24 road games as a favorite -110 to -150 and 16-35 in their last 51 games at the Angels.
