Angels plus $1.20 hosting Red Sox The last time Hector Santiago faced Boston was at Fenway Park on July 2. The Angels won, 21-2. Now the Angels are home, where they have won seven of the last eight times, and have Santiago on the mound. Yet they opened underdogs to the Red Sox and Drew […]

The Cubs are 1-6 in their last seven road games and have dropped seven of their last eight away matchups to teams with a winning home […]
