Picks for 8/6/09

Result: +2.03 units

Los Angeles Angels (135) over Chicago White Sox (1.5 Units) -

We had a loser day two days ago because we lost a -219 favorite so we'll try to stick with the dogs. And the Angels here are a potent one today.

First of all, the Angels are better against lefties than they are against righties.

Against lefties, these Angels are 21-10, ++11.4 units. Against righties, they are still a respectable 41-32, +8.7 units but the record does not compare to how good they are against lefties.

Next off, these Anges are the best at the back end of a series. In the first two games of a series, they are only 37-31, +3.4 units. But if you look at how they do in the 3rd and 4th games of a series, they are 25-9, +18.6 units.

And finally, these Angels are 14-3, +12.5 units if they are off two or more consecutive losses.

These Angels fall into ALL THREE of those fantastic angles today.

And on top of that, they fall into a fantastic betting system of ours that involves betting on a team that is looking to avoid a sweep. You see, they are averaging 8.2 runs the past 5 games. Even averaging 7 runs the past 20 games. With that said, do you not think that they would be primed to avoid a sweep today?

Also, Danks is no good as a favorite. He's just 5-6, -2.3 units in that spot. Even -1 units when pitching at home. So he's not a pitcher we are worried about.

The White Sox may be a good home team and all but no team is better on the road than these Angels. They are 31-22, +14 units.

So they are in a prime spot today in so many levels and we get them at a dog's price. Easy play to make.
