This is a 1* Free Play on the LA Angels.

As the battle of LA shifts to the Angels' ballpark, I think the value is with the Halos tonight. The Dodgers will go with struggling starter Dan Haren (8-9, 4.76 ERA); Haren was shelled on Friday, surrendering six earned runs to the Cubs in just 4 1/3's innings. Loser of five in a row, he's seen his ERA go through the roof after starting off the season nicely. Note that against the Angels Haren is a poor 3-6 life-time with a 3.75 ERA in 11 games started; and note that on the road, Haren is 4-6 with a pedestrian 5.40 ERA this year. The Angels counter with Matt Shoemaker (9-3, 4.07 ERA) who has won two straight starts and four of five overall. Note that Shoemaker has excelled at Angel stadium this season in posting a 5-2 record with a 2.84 ERA. LA is 38-19 on home field this year and is playing well lately, helped by a very strong bullpen. And that's bad news for the Dodgers who are 0-3 as the underdog in the +125 to +150 range this season. Consider taking the Angels.
