July 26 - Finding a team with injuries that are not holding them back

Another winner last time out with the Phantastic Phillies. Even laying the 1 1/2 runs was no problem for them over the horrible San Diego Padres. There are many ways to make money gambling out there. Just take the time to do the research and you will find them. Today we have a dominant team playing a truly slumping team and will ride the tide to another winning bet.

Minnesota Twins @ Los Angeles Angels

We are able to get some good odds to bet today due to a few injuries that have not been hurting the streaking Angels at all. Despite injuries to designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero and outfielders Torii Hunter and Juan Rivera, Los Angeles has had no shortage of offense, averaging 7.8 runs while batting .320 during their eight-game winning streak.

Starting pitcher Ervin Santana (3-5, 6.79), will try to win his third start in a row this afternoon. Coming off a 16-win season, Santana has had two stints on the disabled list this year giving us the opportunity to help keep the money line odds down. The right-hander showed signs that he might be coming around in his final start before the All-Star break, allowing one run and three hits in eight innings of a 6-2 win over Oakland on July 16.

While everything seems to be going the Angels' way, Minnesota's 10-game road trip cannot end fast enough. The Twins have been outscored 39-14 during a four-game losing streak and are 3-6 on the trip. They've lost five in a row in Anaheim and are trying to avoid suffering a four-game sweep there for the first time in franchise history. They are just playing bad baseball right now.

Rookie Anthony Swarzak (2-3, 4.15 ERA), will make his first career start versus the Angels today but may be walking right into the buzzsaw that is the Los Angeles Angels on thier current streak. Swarzak is only in Minnesota's starting rotation right now due to the injured Kevin Slowey (strained right wrist). He has not proven himself to be a quality major league starter as of yet so we will go with the 1st place Angels to continue thier streak.
