Red Sox at Angels MLB Odds & Picks: After losing two straight games at Seattle, the Boston Red Sox will look for a better performance when they travel to Southern California to take on the Los Angeles Angels in a series at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Danny Haren, who was aquired by LA in trade with Arizona on Sunday gets the start versus the Red Sox. Haren is 7-8 on the year with a 4.60 ERA, all with Arizona. Righthander Clay Buchholz will take the mound for the Red Sox to start this game. Buchholz is 10-5 this season with a 2.81 ERA.
Haren will be thrown right into the fire, and onto the mound, as he makes his Angels debut against the Red Sox. Haren faced Boston in an Interleague game on June 17, yielding six runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings in an 8-5 D-backs loss.
Buchholz was a little rusty in his first start back from the disabled list, giving up six hits and five runs over four innings in a loss to the A's. Buchholz, a right-hander beat the Angels on May 3, giving up eight hits and four runs over 5 2/3 innings.
The Red Sox gave up three runs in the eighth inning and suffered a 4-2 loss to the Mariners on Sunday, as -150 favorites. That game's six runs went UNDER the posted 7.5 total set by Sportsbook.
Hideki Okajima suffered the loss for the Red Sox after giving up two runs off five hits in relief. The Angels were defeated 6-4 by the Rangers last time out, as +210 underdogs. That game's 10 runs went as a PUSH against the posted 10-run total. Hideki Matsui had a two-run homer for the Angels, while Trevor Bell gave up four runs to suffer the Angels loss.
MLB Picks: Haren gets his first start and will be revitalized getting out of Arizona. However, we like the Sox in this one getting +120 on the moneyline.
