The LA Angels have a huge pitching matchup advantage in this one as they send their ace Jered Weaver to the mound. After some early season injuries, Weaver has found the groove, especially at home where his last three starts show 1 run allowed in over 20 innings of work. When you consider that those three came against Boston, St. Louis, and Oakland, you know he has everything working right now. Twins' starter Mike Pelfrey has not had the same results, as he enters at 4-7 with a 5.30 ERA, and has won just one time in his last 11 starts. The Angels have been eating up the wins when Weaver takes the mound in the role of a favorite at 41-11 in his last 52, and have been 6-0 in his last six home starts vs. the Twins. Back the Angels.
