Angels continue home series with Tigers

Baseball Betting Lines

04/22/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will try to win back-to- back games for the first time this season, as they resume a three-game series tonight with the Detroit Tigers at Angel Stadium.

Having won back-to-back American League West titles, the Angels are off to a 5-8 start. They snapped a three-game slide in Tuesday's opener by posting a 4-3 victory.

Gary Matthews Jr. doubled in the winning run in the eighth inning, Torii Hunter clubbed a solo homer and Erick Aybar also drove in a run for the Angels. Bobby Abreu had two hits and scored a run in the victory.

Jered Weaver tossed seven solid innings for the Halos, allowing three runs on seven hits and recording six strikeouts, but came away with a no-decision. Jose Arredondo (1-0) got the win after hurling a scoreless eighth. Brian Fuentes overcame some wildness in the ninth to notch his third save.

Curtis Granderson belted two homers and Carlos Guillen collected three hits for the Tigers, who lost for just the third time in their last nine outings.

Brandon Lyon (1-2) was saddled with the loss after giving up a run on two hits in two innings of work. Armando Galarraga started for Detroit and allowed three runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and three walks over five full frames.

The Tigers turn to Justin Verlander tonight in hopes that the 2006 AL Rookie of the Year can get on track.

The right-hander is 0-2 on the season with a 7.88 earned run average over three starts and lost his last start on Friday versus Seattle. He allowed six runs (5 earned) on eight hits over 7 1/3 innings, though he did strike out eight batters for a second straight start.

Verlander, who has dropped six of his last seven decisions dating back to last season, is 0-2 with a 4.34 ERA in three career starts versus the Angels, who counter with Joe Saunders tonight.

An All-Star last season, Saunders is 2-1 with a 2.18 ERA so far in 2009. The southpaw dropped a decision to Boston on April 11, but bounced back with seven innings of one-run ball in batting Seattle on Thursday. Saunders held the Mariners to three hits and a walk while fanning three.

The 27-year-old is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in four career starts versus the Tigers.

The Angels were 6-3 versus Detroit last year and are 17-9 in the series over the last three-plus seasons.
