July 17 - Friday night and on a roll. Another MLB winner


Well we were at it again last night with a big win by the Milwaukee Brewers as the underdog. I love it when the bookmakers have the wrong team as the dog and it gives us an opportunity to make a nice profit. Prince fielder came through with a nice 3 run HR to get things started and the Brew Crew never looked back.

It's Friday night and every team is back to baseball after their All Star break. This gives us a lot of games to choose from, but as I said yesterday, there are some high odds out there scaring us away from some teams. Don't worry though, Pure Profets has found another winner for you that has some great line value.

Los Angeles Angels @ Oakland Athletics

Here we have a 1st place team being undervalued against a 4th place team in the same division just because of a couple of injuries. But they neglect the fact that players on good teams always seem to step up and shine when their teammates are unable to play. Los Angeles (50-37) is without Torii Hunter (strained adductor) and Vladimir Guerrero (strained knee), but has won four straight since the sluggers were placed on the disabled list last Friday. One key reason is the play of Kendry Morales who has six RBIs in the last four games and is on a 16 game hitting streak. Like I said, players step up.

The Oakland A's (37-50) lost for the 12th time in 18 games and continue to sputter offensively. The A's are last in the AL with a .245 batting average and their 363 runs are the third fewest in the league. This is not a good baseball team that has been relying on over-the-hill players that are just not getting it done. Jason Giambi is batting .191 on the season and will be replaced bu Nomar Garciaparra in tonight's game. Orlando Cabrera has been a decent hitter as of late but his fielding range is severely limited at his advanced age which is no help to a poor pitching staff. Rookie Trevor Cahill (5-8, 4.67), who is 0-3 with an 11.37 ERA in his last three outings takes the mound tonight. Cahill did not last past the fourth inning in the first two losses of that stretch, and gave up four runs over 5 1-3 innings July 8 in a 5-4 loss at Boston.

With the win last night, Los Angeles improved to 4-2 against Oakland this year and 3-0 on the road. The Angels scored 27 runs in those games. I see more of the same here.

Here of some of our Pure Profets trends for you to consider:

-Angels are 11-2 in their last 13 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.
-Angels are 5-1 in their last 6 Friday games.
-Angels are 8-2 in their last 10 road games.
-Angels are 5-1 in Saunders' last 6 starts vs. a team with a losing record.
-Athletics are 26-56 in their last 82 vs. a team with a winning record.
-A's are 16-36 in their last 52 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in the previous game.
-Angels are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Oakland.
-Angels are 5-1 in Saunders' last 6 starts vs. Athletics.

So lets continue the winning ride tonight.
