4:10 PM -- Angel Stadium of Anaheim

LOS ANGELES ANGELS (64-43) -160 over Texas Rangers (61-47) Pitching for Los Angeles: RH Jered Weaver (11-3, 3.79) Pitching for Texas: RH Kevin Millwood (9-7, 3.39) Angels Trend Profile: 6-4, Streak: Lost 1, Home Record: 32-21, Against RHP: 40-33. Rangers Trend Profile: Last 10: 5-5, Streak: Won 2, Road Record: 24-26, Against RHP 38-31. Starting Time: 4:10 TV: FOX Comments: It’s time for the Angels to get the Dallas monkey off their backs. Texas, the team Los Angeles has to beat for the American League West title, stands 8-2 in its last 10 games against the Angels and have averaged 6.9 runs while hitting a team .295 in those games. There is no better Los Angeles pitcher than Weaver to put the stopper on this run—and he is at his best right now. In Weaver’s last 12 home starts he is 7-1 with an E.R.A. of 2.79. The Rangers Millwood is having an excellent season but may not be at his best for this. He was scratched from his last three starts with a strained muscle.
