The visiting Tampa Bay Rays and their hosts the LA Angels will both be sending the aces of their staff, to the hill, and two of the best hurlers in the American League. The Rays starting pitcher this afternoon Scott Kazmir (6-1, 1.40 ERA) is in top form , after winning 6 straight decisions. The 24 year old right hander is 2-1 along with a 3.26 ERA in 3 career starts vs the Angels. His pitching opponent from the Halos, former Cy Young award winner, John Lackey (2-1, 1.70 ERA) is also in great current form, and off a dominating effort last time out, as he set down 15 straight As in 7 over powering innings. Lackey is 8-1 along with a tight 2.35 ERA in this series vs the Rays spanning 10 starts. Both pitchers are supported by, average at best bullpens, but Im expecting these two work horses will go deep in what will I predict be a low scoring pitchers duel. Final notes & Key Trends: The Angles have gone under in 20 of their L29 games with a total of between 7 and 8.5. Under is 10-2-1 in Kazmirs L13 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 6-0 in Angels L6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Under is 10-1 in Lackeys L11 starts overall. Play Under
