Angels Look to Snap Four-Game Skid with Red Sox in Town Saturday Night

Angels Look to Snap Four-Game Skid with Red Sox in Town Saturday Night

Angels ask Richards to be the stopper

Who would have thought that a pitcher with a career ERA over 4.00 to begin the season would be the de facto ace of the Angels rotation? We certainly didn’t, but that is what Garrett Richards has done this season. He is 12-4 with a 2.58 ERA for the Angels and has become their stopper. He will be asked to end a four-game losing streak that has dropped the Angels further from the top of the AL West.

Red Sox looking forward to the off-season

After winning the 2013 World Series, the Red Sox are right back to where they found themselves in 2012, at the bottom of the AL East. Boston has traded off a handful of pitchers, including Jon Lester, and one of their bats in Jonny Gomes. Now, they will rely on a couple of rookie pitchers and hitters to get them through the remainder of the regular-season. Clay Buchholz, now the elder statesman of the rotation, will take the mound tonight for Boston. 

When Boston and Los Angeles meet in California tonight, we will place our bets at Sportsbook.ag, where the Angels are home chalk to win this contest. We will drop 10 percent of our bankroll on the Angels and the -215 money line as Richards wins his 13th game of the year, ending the Angels losing streak at the same time.
