Angels -1 -131
My only play today is the Angels. Really like them in this spot for several reasons. The first is that Mark Hendrickson is the pitcher for the other team. This guy is brutal, one of the worst pitchers in MLB. Washburn, on the other hand, has been a stud on the road this season. He has had great success in his career against the Rays, going 7-1. He is also 4-0 lifetime at Tampa Bay with an ERA of 1.97. His season ERA is half of what Hendrickson's is. I liked Tampa in both of the last two games as dogs, however in this one there is a huge pitching mismatch. Angels still fighting for playoffs and need a victory here. Will not lay the huge price, but will use the -1 line from Pinny and make this my only play of the day. Not a huge play due to the way Tampa Bay is playing latley, but worthy of a small to medium sized play.
