Default Saturday play

I like todays card. I like it a lot.
I'll post one play I like the most at this point.

921 Angels +110.

I know I'm stepping in front of a Tampa Bay team that has been winning at home and not allowing many runs. In fact they have allowed only 1 run the past 32 innings and 22 straight scoreless innings and counting. And, they have 4 home shutouts.
Also, the Angels have been banged up and the Rays are getting healthy.

But, I like this pitching matchup.
Saunders for the Angels is 6-0 with the team 7-0 against
Kazmir for the Rays who has only pitched 4 innings of baseball this season.
Both are left handers.
And, the Angels kill left handers batting .337 on the road, .296 overall.
The Rays have not had a lot of luck against lefties hitting .238 overall and .191 the last 10.

I like this situation.
Small dog playing against a rusty left handed arm.
I know there are a lot of reasons to go with the Rays.
I'm not. I believe there will be a few runs scored tonight.
I just hope the Angels end up with one more that the Rays.

921 Angels +110.
