Furious MLB Betting Picks – LA’s Dream Weaver Takes on Fenway Park
May 2, 2011
While the Boston Red Sox continue to suck wind in the American League as they adjust to a newly developed team spirit, the Los Angeles Angels are chugging forward as one of the best teams in the majors. The Red Sox sit in last in their division, while the Angels are duking it out with the Rangers in the AL West.
Jered Weaver, who returns to action after a stomach virus caused him to lose nearly nine pounds, will ensure that things stay that way for the time being.
Weaver’s unearthly 6-0 SU start and 0.99 ERA is shocking the entire league right now, but I’m not so sure that people who tracked the Angels last year are that surprised by the 6-foot-7 ace.
Weaver led the league in strikeouts last year with hardly anyone noticing – a point that is only being brought up now by pundits. Weaver’s incredible, workhorse style of pitching has been massive for the Angels, who are 9-2 SU in their last 11 road games and looking to turn around a 1-13 SU record against Boston that has a 1-6 SU record when visiting Fenway built in.
Los Angeles Angels (16-12) vs. Boston Red Sox (12-15)
Monday, May 2 — Fenway Park — 7:10pm EST
MLB Betting Lines:
LAA – Jered Weaver (R) +1.5 -210 / -105 / O 8.0 -115
BOS – Clay Buchholz (R) -1.5 +175 / -115 / U 8.0 -105
Clay Buchholz gets the call to the lonely dirt hill for the Boston Red Sox, and he hasn’t exactly been stellar this year. His 1-3 SU record over four starts comes with a 5.33 ERA attached and just 15 strikeouts. He has some of the worst home numbers of any Sox pitcher, which is exactly why you want to steer clear of him in MLB betting picks. Buchholz has allowed 11 hits and 7 earned runs in just 8.2 innings at Fenway Park this season.
Where to Watch – FSW, NESN
There are a few pitchers in MLB betting picks that you just can’t go against and Jered Weaver tops that list without question. Eventually he’ll lose. Eventually someone will get the better of him.
But it is not going to be the Boston Red Sox. Weaver’s simply too much of a no-brainer until he endures a harsh streak and the shortened odds on the moneyline are too tempting to pass up.
