MLB Baseball - L.A. Angels at Cleveland Indians (-135, 8.5) 7:00 PM EST
 The Tribe will start their ace C.C. Sabathia, who has not pitched since opening day win over Chicago. The big left-hander and his team are favored because of his mound skills and the fact that Cleveland will still be the home team and bat last in what will feel like an exhibition game. Sabathia is 3-5 with a 5.40 ERA in 10 career starts against the Angels.
For the Angels. it's just a matter of a shorter plane ride to play on the road for the first in 2007. Even with a location change, the Halos are hoping Vladimar Guerrero can stay hot at the dish. The seven-time All-Star hit .440, with three home runs, 10 runs batted in and a surreal .880 slugging percentage and was named co-player of the week with A-Rod.
Los Angeles will start Ervin Santana who is part of a trivia question. Name the two pitchers in the AL with the most wins since the middle of the 2005 season? Of course Johan Santana leads the way with 30 victories, but the Angels Santana is second, having brought backers better then 12 units of profit in that time span.
Cleveland is currently listed as -135 betting choice at sportsbook.com in this most unusual circumstance.
Sabathia and his Tribe team-mates are 88-42 (+30.2 Units) against the money line vs. AL teams scoring 4.7 or less runs a game on the season during his career.
With the total listed at 8.5, dismissing the Angels with Santana and their fabulous bullpen would be foolish. Santana is 33-16 against the ML when the total is 8.5 to 10 over the last 2 seasons. (Angels Record)
