Toronto Tuesday evening. The Angels aren’t dominating at home like they have in the past, but they’re still over .500 at 12-8 on the year making their betting backers a couple of units on the year. LA has played some decent ball at home this year earning themselves an 11-8 mark to date.

Last nights win earned their moneyline backers their second winning ticket in their L/6 overall, and they’re currently tied atop the AL West Division with the Cleveland Tuesday night.

Jose Contreras will look to put an end to Angels, Contreras is 5-4 with a 3.51 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 10 starts.

The highly anticipated first start of the season for John Lackey will occur this evening as he looks to bounce back from the triceps injury that landed him on the DL to start the season. He won 19 games for the Halos last season, and posted an AL leading 3.01 ERA. It was reported that he looked good in his final rehab start on May 9. In 10 career starts against the White Sox, Lackey is 3-5 with a 4.66 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. LA has lost four of his L/5 starts against the AL Central representatives.

Chicago is 10-4 their L/14 trips to Angels Stadium, and they’re 5-1 the L/6 times Contreras faced them. They’re also 7-3 in Contreras’ L/10 starts as a road underdog between +110 and +150. It hasn’t been stated whether Lackey will be on a pitch count or not, but this looks to be an awful lot of chalk for LA bettors to eat knowing their 29th ranked bullpen will ultimately play a large role in determining tonight’s outcome.
