Baseball Picks - Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers

Santana vs. Holland

The Angels are set to go with Ervin Santana on Saturday and that is not necessarily good news. You never really know what you are going to get with Santana. He is 9-12 on the season with a 4.93 ERA. He was good last time out against the White Sox but the way Chicago is going right now I don?t know how much credit he gets for that start. He is 13-10 in his career with a 5.81 ERA against the Rangers.

Derek Holland has been similar in some respects to Santana this season. He is supposed to be a number two or number three starter but far too often he hasn?t pitched like one. He is 11-6 on the season with a 4.50 ERA. He threw just three innings last time out against Texas. He is 6-5 in his career against the Angels with a 5.27 ERA.

Angels vs. Rangers Trends

The Angels and Rangers had split their last ten meetings before this series began. Texas had taken six of the last ten at home against the Angels. Four of the last five games went over the total at the offshore sportsbook. The Angels have been a decent road team this season and to make the playoffs they will have to continue to win on the road as after this series they end the regular season in Seattle. The Rangers have been outstanding at home this season so it is tough to take the Angels even though they badly need to win this game.

Baseball Picks

I don?t trust either Santana or Holland. Both of them will have some good innings and then boom, they will get hit with a three or four run inning. I am going to take this game over the total and expect to see each team score at least five runs.
