Boston Red Sox at Anaheim Angels (Game 2)
Friday, 9:35 pm Eastern – TBS
SBG Global Opening Line: Angels - 134 , Total 8 Flat
The Anaheim Angels may have had the best record in the Major Leagues this season but if they don’t win Game 2 on Friday night they could be headed for an early exit in this year’s playoffs. The Angels lost the opener of this best of five series 4-1 on Wednesday and now must beat Daisuke Matsuzaka and the Red Sox on Friday or face the unpleasant prospect of having to win three straight against the World Champs. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Rays at Home.
Matsuzaka was simply brilliant on the road this season going 9-0 with a 2.37 ERA. He did not pitch well in his only start of the season against the Angels at Fenway when he gave up seven hits and six runs. He will be opposed by Ervin Santana who was an All-Star this season. Santana though, has not pitched well in his career against Boston, going 1-2 with a 5.73 ERA against the Red Sox in four career starts. He did not face them this season.
