Today's free baseball pick for Friday August 7, 2009 from Tony George:  Texas +120 @ LA Angels.  Place your bets at BetUS.com

I know all about LA's offense, but I like Scoot Feildman for Texas on the hill on the the road tonight, to hold LA in check.  He is 6-1 on the road with a 3.32 ERA and in 51 road innings pitched, has only given up 43 hits, and that is the KEY to beating the Angels offense. The Angels just came off a road series loss to the White Sox and look to get back on track with Joe Saunders headed to the mound with some solid numbers, but one advantage is that Texas loves to hit left handers and do it well.

When you have a pitcher who can keep LA in check in terms of runs getting out of hand, and you have a team batting almost .300 against southpaws the last 10 games, you can keep yourself in the game.  The consensus is LA in this game, but if you take a look at the last 16 weeks of baseball, where weekend series 9 times of out 10 begin, Texas is 13-3 in Friday games.  A small upset here to night, as the better bullpen is clearly Texas in this one, and with starters being equal, and texas having better power hitters, I like texas in a road upset 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.
