Expert sports handicapper, Tony George, has his free baseball pick for Thursday July 23, 2009.

LA Angels -151 vs Minnesota Twins  10 PM EST

Cannot ignore the hitting by LA in this game, batting a whopping .326 as a team against right handers, which is the case tonight, as well as batting .306 against southpaws, overall as a team in the last 10 games.  Throw in the fact one of the best hurlers Jered Weaver is on the hill tonight at 10-3 on the year, and he has a 3.41 ERA and 1.18 WHIP on the year to date, and you have the makings of a strong home team, hitting on all cylinders right now with an ace out of the starting rotation leading the way. 

Tough to make a case for Scott Baker for the Twins who has an ERA approaching 6 for the season and is just 1 win over .500 as a starter.  Looking at recent history the bullpen for Minnesota is weak at best and allow plenty of runners in scoring position with a 5.68 ERA on the season.  Adding fuel to the fire tonight is the fact that LA is avenging a 3 game sweep on the road at the hands of the Twins earlier this season, so you know they will have their ears pinned back for this one, and Minnesota is off a series loss at Oakland and are playing their 7th straight road game tonight as well.

Play 1 Unit on the LA Angels tonight.

Baseball News

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
