The PLAY: Los Angeles Angels +1.5 (+106) T Anderson (LHP), C Kershaw (LHP) Must Start
The Angels took last night's series opener and they're offering very fair value once again this evening. Kershaw, now 37, will be making his first start this year. A couple of years younger, the 35-year old Anderson has been pitching well all season. Through eight starts, allowing three or fewer earned runs in every one of them, he's got a stingy 2.58 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. Over his last six starts, Anderson's ERA dips to just 2.04. The Angels are 6-2 with him on the mound. With Kershaw still working his way back and facing big league hitters for the first time this season, let's grab the extra +1.5 runs with Anderson and the visitors.
