I’m laying the price with the Angels on Monday night. The Rangers wrapped up the AL West over a month ago, for all intents and purposes. Tonight, they’ll send Derek Holland to the Angel Stadium bump. Holland has struggled on the road this season, sporting a hefty 6.62 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in five appearances, including four starts. The Angels may have been on the outside of the playoff race for a couple of months, but they’re playing decent baseball right now. The Halos have won seven of their last 10 games, and they’re on a 4-0 run at home. And I’m sure Mike Scioscia’s club would like nothing better than to set the tone for next season when the Angels are healthy and the Rangers are less dangerous. After all, it’s going to be tough for Texas to keep a couple of this season’s big producers in Arlington in 2011. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have Jered Weaver on the mound tonight. The righthander is having another strong season. He’s been red-hot of late and is virtually untouchable at home. Combined with his strong career numbers against Texas, I believe the home team is in a solid play-on spot. Look for the Angels to make it five straight home wins on Monday night. Thanks! GL! Scott.
