In terms of a match to bet on, the match that really catches my eye tonight is the Los Angeles derby played out between the Angels and the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

LA Angels (Lackey 5-1, 1.65) @ LA Dodgers (Lowe 5-7, 4.05) Sunday 9.10 pm UK Time.

John Lackey is in my opinion, the best pitcher in the majors in terms of the level of performance he is regularly producing at this moment in time. He doesn't need massive run support a lot of the time, and bearing in mind that he had a very lengthy spell on the disabled list, his current form is all the more surprising to some.

Canbet are offering an extremely generous 1.88 on the impressive and disciplined Angels unit to win this encounter, and when you consider that they are playing against a very erratic and difficult to back Dodgers side, I expect you to fill up on this price. The only real note of caution is that Derek Lowe is not far behind Lackey when he is having a good pitching day but if the offence doesn't click, a good pitcher can only take you so far.

Do not expect masses of runs, but I do not see any value in the Under 7 runs market because one bad inning can completely ruin that type of bet.

RECOMMENDATION - 4 points stake LA Angels @ 1.88 (Canbet)
