We all saw the scioscia - dipoto debacle play out, the mishandling then dealing of Hamilton. We also know that a scioscia clubhouse is a no fun zone. However, now that clubhouse has gotten even worse. According to information I got last night, the clubhouse is extremely toxic and it's not because of the losing. For reasons I won't address because at this point it hasn't been confirmed, and somewhat remains rumor, quite a few guys are upset with trout. So much so that its unfixable and the clubhouse is largely divided. Has been since July. Guys are no longer playing for each other, some only playing for their own stats. Look for the Angels to start mailing it in after going 10-19 in August, 21-28 since the break, and in 49 total games have only won 13 (33%) by more than 1 run. Playing an underdog apponent on the run line is like having a cash printing machine. Season is over. They know it. The fans know it. Look for major changes to the roster this offseason.. And look for the Dodgers to smack them down again tonight. GLTA
just saw this. I should have clarified.. Anytime the Angels are a favorite, play the dog on the RL (+1.5) because at the current rate, anything less than -200 average is winning based on the 33% figure. Tonight was a win (Dodgers +1.5 -160, 3-2 Angels) and the next time the Angels are a favorite, the underdog will be a +1.5 RL play. Also, tracking all the plays is great idea as well. Thanks varkey!
