Vegas Play of the Day: Los Angeles Angels at Houston Astros

We’re entering the third season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1.

Starting bankrolls have reset to $10,000, with the maximum bet being to win $1,000 and the minimum wager $300. Ray Brewer won the 2015-2016 season, after Taylor Bern prevailed in 2014-2015.

Los Angeles Angels at Houston Astros plus-132: $400 to win $528

The Angels have won six straight, and starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker is looking to build on the 13-striekout, complete game shutout he tossed last week against the Chicago White Sox.

Shoemaker is unlikely to match that kind of production again tonight but he shouldn’t have to with the way the Angels are swinging the bats. Excluding Shoemaker’s 1-0 victory, the Angels have averaged 7.8 runs per game. If Los Angeles can get a couple of early runs I feel good about the Angels running this streak to seven straight.

Current Standings: Keefer (4-1, $10,560), Bern (0-2, $9,200), Brewer (1-4, $8,700)

Taylor Bern can be reached at 948-7844 or [email protected]. Follow Taylor on Twitter at twitter.com/taylorbern.
