Two teams that are trying to hang on to relevancy in their respective divisions lock horns on Monday night, July 5th. The Los Angeles Angels know that they have to keep winning in order to keep pace with the Texas Rangers in the American League West while the Chicago White Sox don't want to fall too far behind the Twins and Tigers in the American League Central. This should be a good, competitive matchup that ultimately will be close. In the end, though, bookmakersonlinebetting.com is suggesting that your free wager go on the Chicago White Sox at home against the Angels.
At the top of the rotation, Jered Weaver has been having an outstanding season for the Los Angeles Angels. With a 7-3 record with an ERA under 3.00, Weaver is the most reliable starter on the Angels starting staff. Ervin Santana is also pitching well this season, though his numbers are not anything special. This is where the solid pitching ends, however, for the Angels. Joel Pineiro, Joe Saunders, and Scott Kazmir have all been struggling mightily since the season began. These three players have to be driving manager Mike Scioscia crazy because the team is on the verge of breaking out and being in first place by themselves. Until they start getting better outings from their go-to guys in the rotation, though, it will be very difficult for the Angels to be as good as they can possibly be. Look for a good price on the White Sox and then place your free bet on Chicago.
At home, the White Sox have been nothing special, but they have played very solid only to lose some very close games. This is beginning to change, however, as the starting pitching starts to come around. Mark Buehrle could easily have thrown in the towel after an absolutely horrid start to the season. Instead, he has persevered and is now getting his numbers back to a respectable level. John Danks has given Ozzie Guillen a player that he can look to every fifth day and know that the White Sox have a legitimate shot to win the game. Paul Konerko won't let the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera run away with the home run lead in the American League, as he is currently tied with the Detroit slugger along with Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays for the lead with 20 HR. It is this type of offense against the suspect pitching of the Angels that will help Chicago get the free wager victory on Monday night.
This will no doubt be a very fun game to watch, and you can expect that there will be a lot of betting action occurring on this game. As the Angels will probably be getting a decent number because they are the road team, it might be tempting to place your free bet on Los Angeles. However, if you can fight that urge and look to the White Sox as the team to beat in this game, you will have the opportunity to have a winning ticket at the end of the day. Bookmakersonlinebetting.com firmly believes that the Chicago White Sox will get the victory at U.S. Cellular.
