This is a 7* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the LA Angels.

The visitors hand the ball to John Danks (6-9, 4.58 ERA) who looked decent in his last start, giving up one run off five hits over 7 1/3's innings in a no-decision vs. these very same Angels last Wednesday. If there's one thing that Danks has been this year though, it's been "inconsistent," and note that this is a spot in which the veteran has struggled in all season as well, as he comes to LA with a poor 2-6, 6.09 ERA road record. The home side counters with Garett Richards (11-9, 3.35 ERA) who gave up three runs off eight hits over six innings in a no-decision vs. the Royals on Thursday. Richards has been pretty mediocre down the stretch, he's now given up at least three runs in each of his past five starts and it's resulted in his ERA rising from 3.25 to 3.55 over that stretch. Richards though has to be feeling that he can bounce back here as he's a commanding 7-3 with a tiny 2.53 ERA in front of the home town crowd this year. In our professional opinion, this is a massive mismatch and that makes this a price that we have no issues at all in laying, play on the ANGELS.
