Picks for 8/2/09
Result: +1.00 units
Los Angeles Angels (-117) over Minnesota Twins (1.0 Units) - The Angels are 19-11, +13 units when they fall into the free systems picks on our website. This suggests that they win when they are in the right systematic positions. Today is good for them in that they are looking to sweep the Twins today with an offense that has been flying high. THey've scored double digits in each of the first two games of the series AND they scored a total of 16 runs in their prior 2 games. With a winning streak of 4, they will look to hit 5 today.
Today is also kind of unfair because these Angels are a cool 20-10 against lefties. So we're gonna basically take this game action on Perkins pitching for the Twins so that we've got the Angels in a position where they are facing a lefty.
Also consider this. The Angels won the first two games of the series but they get better as a series progresses. They are 24-9 in the back end of a series.
These Twins, on the other hand, are playing very mediocre baseball at the moment. So they'll be a bit outmatched even though they are at home trying to avoid a sweep.
