Going with Ervin Santana

[mickey]

LA Angels at Seattle

On the mound for the AL West leaders is Ervin Santana who has had an up and down season coming back from injury. Santana is 7-7 with a 5.94 ERA this year. However, that ERA is an indication of his early season woes, of late he has been solid not giving up more then three earned runs in any of his last four starts. As a matter of fact, Santana tonight should be thrilled that he takes the mound away from home. This season Ervin is 1-5 with an 8.08 ERA at home as opposed to his road starts where he has gone 6-2 on the year. In his five August starts he went 4-1 with a 3.27 ERA which included a CG shutout.

On the rubber for the Mariners is rookie starter Doug Fister,with a 1-1 record and 3.42 ERA. Fister is coming off the worst start of his young career against Kansas City where he gave up 5 runs in 6 innings of work. The rookie has not made enough starts to give out situational stats, his tendencies on whether he prefers home/away starts or day/night outings are not clear yet. What is clear is that this kid has talent as his numbers have been impressive overall. Tonight he faces a very tough lineup which just about all of the Angels hitters are very patient. Expect Fister to be decent tonight with my prediction being 6 innings of 4 run baseball.

The Los Angeles Angels are 24-9 in their last 33 road games. The Seattle mariners are 5-11 in their last 16 Tuesday games. Both teams have played .500 baseball over their last 10 games overall. The Angels are 10-2 in Ervin Santana’s last 12 starts against Seattle.
