10:05 PM EST. Frankly, this run line price on the Angels is a steal when you consider that the Indians are -1½ -125 over Minnesota, the Mats are -1½ -105 over the Braves in the first end of a DH and the Yanks are -1½ -120 in Chicago. This one is as big a mismatch or bigger than all of those. For one, the Tigers have been the coldest team in MLB since the All-Star break, averaging just 3.2 runs per game while having a .209 BA and .574 OPS over that span. That cold offense will now face another under the radar ace in Andrew Heaney (LHP). Heaney comes into this start on an absolute tear, as over his last six starts he is 2-2 with a 3.35 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 2.99 xERA, and a BB/K split of 8/40 over 40 innings.

By contrast, Jacob Turner makes his first start of the year after four relief appearances covering six frames. Turner is back in the majors despite faring poorly earlier in 2017. Over 39 innings with the Nationals, he had a 5.38 xERA with a lousy 5.3 K’s/9 and terrible control. Until and unless he shows some indications that he has suddenly found the ingredients for success, Turner should be avoided. Turner has shown promise before but a 10.31 xERA and a 15.88 ERA over six 2018 innings led inexorably to his being designated for assignment prior to this start. Turner has walked five batters, struck out two and has a 4% swing and miss rate over his small sample this season. The Angels, like those other aforementioned teams should be -1½ and juice here but they’re not, which prompts us to move in hard.

PLEASE NOTE: One of the unique things about our website is that we provide write-ups every single day on every game we post. We’re not sure if everyone understands how time consuming that is and how difficult it is as well but if you do not, please try it one day and you’ll see.

That said, we’re not going to change that. We’ll have write-ups every single day like we always do but we’re also going to have another feature. You see, we post our games usually in the early afternoon or before 1:00 PM EST but there is a lot of movement and other intangibles that occur throughout the day that has influence on what we’re betting. Usually after 6:00 PM EST or thereabouts, we’re going to be adding other games that we’re betting on in a section called “add-ons” for today that we ARE NOT going to write up because it’s too time consuming and with an hour or less before the first game goes off, we just won’t have the time.

This is a feature that you will see on our home page with the other wagers and we’ll also tweet it out when our add-ons have been posted.
