The Halos dropped a tough game by a 3-2 count last night to the pale hose. Jose Contreras was just too tough, and the Halos just couldn’t muster enough offense off him or Jenks. Things look to be different tonight though as it’s the angels that have the starting pitching advantage this time around. Mark Buehrle looks to have gotten it together of late, but he’s a completely different pitcher on the road. His ERA balloons up to 5.67, and he’s nowhere near as mesmerizing with his stuff. The Halos got the better of him earlier this year tagging him for 7 hits and 6 earned runs in just 6 innings of work. I’m looking for more of the same tonight. Ervin Santana’s been money at home this season. He sports a 9-2 overall mark and has an ERA of 3.17. He’s won 4 of his L/5 home starts, and looks to become the Angels first 15 game winner this year tonight. With a chance to make up some ground in both the Wild Card and AL West with Minny and Oakland squaring off, I’m looking for the Angels to play their butts off in this three game set. It all starts tonight, and the added incentive of gaining revenge against the pale hose for knocking them out of the post-season last year also has me loving the home squad tonight.
