4* Money Maker
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -119.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Win
Taking TAMPA BAY here. I have written here about my fade train of Jered Weaver. The guy with an 83 MPH fastball that is trying to a pass himself off as a MLB starting pitcher. I will be first to say that a 3-1 record in 5 starts hasn't shown me any profit. But the odds-makers know what is coming as he hasn't be favored more than 125 and is in pick'em most of the time. Like today. Before getting shelled my the Brewers for 7 runs in 5 innings, Weaver had a .286 BA against 1.41 WHIP with 11Ks and 7 walks in 26 innings. Those numbers ballooned to .325 BA against and 1.62 WHIP. Not saying that TB is going to rock out 11 hits in 5 innings here. But the fact is Weaver is out there soft tossing balls to guys who get paid to hit. With the loss of Richards at the top of the rotation, Pujols at .202 with 140 million due the next 5 years, Simmons hitting .216, this team is a mess. LeBron can carry 4 guys on the court. He can always have ball. Trout can't hit in all 9 slots and isn't a pitcher. Tampa Bay 5-1 last 6 times faces Weaver including 5 straight here at Angel Stadium. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS
