The defeat saw manager Mike Scioscia’s club drop its fourth game in its L/6 tries after dropping two of three at Kansas City in its previous stop.

Since Texas shockingly lost its home opener in its series against the Cleveland Indians last night, the Halos deficit in the AL West standings remains at 3.5-games and they sit 4.5-games in back of the AL Wild Card leading Tampa Bay Rays.

After dropping its road series at Kansas City, manager Ozzie Guillen’s White Sox stormed the Ball Park in Arlington and took two of three from the 1st place Rangers. They then returned home and took it to another AL West opponent last night after the offense erupted for nine runs on nine hits to win for the sixth time in their L/10 tries ($275). The clubs recent run of success now finds them just one-game in back of the AL Central leading Detroit Tigers and 5.5-games out in the AL Wild Card chase.

Game Date/Time: Tuesday, July 6th, 8:10 ET
Game Location: US Cellular Field, Chicago, IL
TV/Radio Broadcast: FOX-West, WCIU, XM
MLB Odds: Los Angeles Angels +1.5 -230 -115 (Jered Weaver – R) vs. Chicago White Sox -1.5 +190 -105 (Jake Peavy – R): Total 7.5 O -105 7.5 U -115
Jered Weaver has been nothing short of exceptional throughout his L/4 starts having gone 3-0 during that stretch and allowing only 14 hits and five ER’s while churning out an incredible K/BB ratio of 35/4; he’s tossed seven innings in each of his L/3 starts. He’s 5-2 with a 3.56 ERA & 1.13 WHIP in nine road starts this season; Anaheim is 5-4 with him leading its charge as a visitor. He’s been at his best under the lights (5-1, 3.09 ERA), and has flourished immensely against the White Sox going 4-0 with a 0.52 ERA & 0.72 WHIP in five career starts.
Though he ended up putting forth his fifth straight quality start, Palehose righty Jake Peavy saw his winning streak get snapped at three in a row his last time out at Kansas City. The Royals got to him for seven hits and three ER’s through his six innings of work to hand him his sixth loss of the 2010 baseball betting season. The defeat dropped him to 2-1 with a 1.23 ERA & 0.86 WHIP his L/3 outings, but now he returns home to “The Cell” where he’ll look to match the effort he exhibited against the Cubs his last time there. Chicago’s 3-4 in his seven 2010 home starts, and in two career outings against the Halos, Peavy stands 0-2 with a bloated 5.79 ERA & 1.14 WHIP.
MLB Insider Tip: Very interested to see how the Angels rebound from last night’s drubbing; in short, I don’t believe they will. Chicago is playing some outstanding ball right now in all facets of the game, and I just feel they’re way too hot to get in front of right now; especially at home. LA got back into the AL West race with an outstanding road trip at the beginning of June, but prior to that, they were pretty much left for dead. I believe the injuries are finally starting to catch up to them, and the adrenaline they’ve been running on is starting to taper off. Chicago got off to a tremendously slow start to the season, but they’ve been firing on all cylinders ever since Interleague play picked back up in the middle of June.
They’ve defeated each of the L/6 +.500 opponents that invaded US Cellular Field, and my MLB predictions for Game 2 of this series have them keeping that mark perfectly intact!
My MLB Prediction: Chicago White Sox (Peavy)
