Sportsbook: Intertops

Result: Loss

*3 Star MLB Major Mismatch* Luke Hochevar was a very high draft pick, but he has never fulfilled his promise in the majors. Hochevar has a career ERA of 5.29. Last time he went up against the Angels he gave 7 hits and 4 runs in just five innings. This Angels offense is much better now with Morales healthy and a huge bat in Albert Pujols in the middle of the lineup. Dan Haren is a terrific pitcher, and he is generally a very strong starter at the beginning of the season. The Angels are 8-1 in his last 9 home starts. The Royals are 0-4 in Hochevar's last 4 starts against the Angels. Take LA -1.5.
