Stephen Nover's 10-Dime MLB Game of the Week
(MLB) Texas vs. LA Angels,
Total: 8.00 | -111.00 Under
Result: Loss
I'm not a fan of Colby Lewis nor C.J. Wilson. Both have bad histories against their respective opponents here. It's also a golden spot for Albert Pujols to break out of his season-long slump and for Mike Trout to get hot again.




Lewis went 0-4 with an 11.07 ERA in four starts against the Angels last season. Lewis is 35 and past his prime. Lewis has a 3.79 ERA - and that's with a high strand rate. Opponents are batting .282 against him in three starts. Pujols is 7-for-15 lifetime against Lewis with two homers while Trout has a six-game hitting streak against Texas going 10-for-19 during this span. Trout is batting .400 with two homers during his last 15 at-bats against Lewis.




Wilson hasn't fared well versus his old team. He's 1-2 with a 7.36 ERA versus Texas in eight starts. He faced Texas five times last season and posted a hideous 8.76 ERA.




The weather forecast calls for winds of 10-12 mph blowing out to right field.
