Wednesday's Play--A Side Play That I Like ALOT !!

lost last night with the over in the Astros/Rockies. Now 1-1 for the week. Still 3-1 for the season on the "I Like It ALOT" plays, and I have another one for tonight. For Wednesday night, I really like the Angels -125 to the Blue Jays. Here's why:

The Angels start Jered Weaver. He is one of THE most underrated pitchers in baseball. He is 4-2 with a 2.36 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP and a batting average against of .214. He is second in the AL in ERA, and third in WHIP. In his last 3 starts his ERA is only 2.14. His ERA is higher on the road this year (4.50), but he has good numbers against the Jays. How good you ask ? Well...this season he is 1-0 against them with a 1.00 ERA and a .100 batting average against. He allowed only 3 hits in 9 innings pitched against them this year. For his career he is 4-1 against the Jays with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.094 WHIP.

Meanwhile the Blue Jays start Casey Janssen. He missed all of last year with shoulder surgery. He has made only 2 starts since returning, so you know he is far from 100%. He is 1-1 on the year with a 4.15 ERA. But here's the thing--his WHIP is 1.69 and his batting average against is .345. In 13 innings, he has allowed 19 hits and 3 walks, with only 2 strikeouts. At home his batting average against is .367. Prior to this year, his career ERA as a starter was 5.22. Now admittedly he has awesome career numbers against the Angels (2-0 with a 0.00 ERA), but that was then and this is now my friends. And right now, Janssen has been extremely hittable.

Wednesday's "I Like It ALOT" play is the LA Angels -125.

thanks Fats. I considered fading Moehler tonight--who can't possibly repeat his performance from last time out, but I decided to leave that series alone. You're right about this coming weekend--I will almost certainly be fading Paulino again (scheduled to face Zach Duke and the Pirates on Sunday).
