My MLB Tuesday Free Play goes on a match up between he Angels and Orioles in Baltimore as they begin a 3 game set on Tuesday.
Jered Weaver gets the nod for the Angles and has pitched very well in 2014, especially after he had some poor starts in late May, early June, he has only allowed more than 2 ER once in his last 7 outings. Weaver is 11-6 this season with a 3.36 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. In 18 “Night’ starts, Weaver is 9-4 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in those 18 outings whilst opponents have hit just .214 against him.
Chris Tillman will toe the slab for the home team and he has pitched solid enough for the Orioles to 7-5 in 22 starts in 2014. Run Support has been a major issue for Tillman this year, especially at Camden Yards. Tillman has started 14 games at night, pitching to an ERA of 4.42 and a WHIP of 1.39. Opponents are hitting .252 against Tillman in night games.
The Angles added All Star Huston Street ti bolster the back end of their bullpen, He has been lights out since his move to LA and the late innings have got a lot more manageable for this Angels team.
LA Angels - 120
