Yes, I’ve been away for a long time, and my life doesn’t allow me to have much time to write some previews, never the less, this is my favourite sport and I’m starting to get some vibes in the season so far. So tonight I’m debuting myself on this MLB pick and hoping to put some regular ones in here in the next months. Let see how it goes.

Well I’m staring this one with a game that has a lot of value in it. This visit from the Kansas Royals in Los Angeles seems to be faded for a lost, at least in this first game of the series. The difference is very big in the pitching department and the Angels are hitting very nicely later. So it would take a very good pitcher to hold the angels tonight.

That’s hardly the case here. We are speaking about Gil Meche – he has a carrer ERA of 4.49, allowing usually a lot of hits. In this season so far he has been even worse – he has a season ERA of 7.13, allowing a lot of hits in the 3 games he played so far in the season. With a very weak WHIP of 1.64 he wil have a very hard time keeping the angels batters to low score.

In the Angels side, it will be Jered Weaver on the mound tonight – he has a carrer ERA of 3.36 and so far this season he has a similar ERA on the 3 games he pitched so far – he has a season ERA of 3.79 and in the last 2 games he has been very secure allowing few hits.

Weaver is usually at his best against the royals so, I’m guessing a very large advantage on pitching for the home side tonight.

The Los Angeles Angels are so much better on the offensive department lately, so facing a pitcher like Meche Kotchmann and Mathis should do some damage. Well the bullpen seem balanced, but I don’t believe it’s the bullpen which will decide tonight, so handicap for home side in my opinion.
