On the surface it seems like there could be double-digit runs scored in this game.
But there are key below-the-radar elements that point to the Under getting the money.
Chris Archer has been a major disappointment. Lately, though, Archer has been better. He has given up three earned runs in his last two starts going six innings each time. His strikeout-to-walk ratio in these two outings is 15-to-2.
Angels starter Dillon Peters has been respectable since coming up from the minors. He's allowed eight runs in his past four starts spanning 22 2/3 innings. He has a 13-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his past two starts.
This is a rare 5:05 PDT start time in Anaheim. The Angels usually start their evening games two hours later. Shawdows are extremely tough on the batters during the first few innings when the Angels play at home during this time.
Note, too, that Cory Blaser is scheduled to be the home plate umpire. The Under is 96-68 (59 percent) the past six seasons when Blaser has been behind the plate.
