MLB Betting Prefers LA Dodgers in Freeway Series

11th June, 2010 - Posted by writer - No Comments

The Angels are expected to grant the ball to Joel Pineiro on Friday. He’s 4-6 this season with a 5.26 ERA. Pineiro gave up 3 runs past time out in the 1st inning against Seattle but gave up only one run the remainder of the way. He gave up 3 walks and 9 hits while striking out 5. He’s 2- with a 3.38 ERA in 3 career starts against the dodgers.

Pineiro started out his career being a pitcher for the Seattle Mariners, the Red Sox and the St Louis Cardinals. In January of this year, he signed with the LA Angels of Anaheim.

Billingsley gave up 3 runs to the Atlanta Braves past Saturday. Billingsley has been pitching quite well lately as he hasn’t granted more than 3 runs since early May. Ever since his home ERA is 4.66 compared to 2.78 on the road, Billingsley still needs to progress his home ERA.

Ever since his career started in 2006, Billingsley has been playing with the LA Dodgers. He has become one of the National League’s top pitchers.

The Angels and Dodgers have divided their past 10 games. The past time they met was in Anaheim past June. The LA Dodgers won two of those 3 games and two of the games went over the total. They last competed in LA over a year ago when the Angels took two of 3. Since the teams are only miles apart, the home field advantage hasn’t meant much in this series.

Pitching hasn’t been a problem against the Angels, but the la dodgers have lost 5 of their past eight home games against their crosstown foes despite a 3.40 ERA.

The Angels are starting to seem like the team that has owned the American League West in recent years. They still have some concerns but no one in that division looks to be that formidable. The Angels are surely capable of winning in LA, since they have in fact been almost of the same quality on the road as at home. The Angels are in 2nd place in the AL West, however they cooled off the last several days, sharing a four-game road series against the Athletics.

The LA Dodgers are much better at home this season than on the road. LA has received a lot of luck with Dodgers Stadium this season. The Dodgers are right back in the National League West competition and it’s due to the fact of their home record. Billingsley is a big part of that improvement that the la dodgers have seen in their team ERA. The Dodgers are still one of the greater offensive teams as they rate in the top 10 in the league in runs scored. Powerful play during a 13-game homestand has transferred the LA Dodgers into 1st place in their division with the leading record in the National League.
