Baseball Betting at Get That Bet — Scherzer and Richards Set For Duel in Tigers-Angels Game

There is no question that many baseball bettors really appreciate it when a couple of outstanding pitchers get together in a game that really means something. On Thursday night the Los Angeles Angels will play host to the Detroit Tigers in action that will begin at 10:05 PM ET at Angel Stadium in Anaheim.

Two contenders for the AL Cy Young Award will go at it, as Max Scherzer of the Tigers (11-3, 3.34 ERA), who won the trophy last year, opposes Garrett Richards of the Angels (11-2, 2.47 ERA), who has been a huge and pleasant surprise.

The Angels are the second-place team in the American League West, two games behind the Oakland Athletics, and Get That Bet customers know that there is a high likelihood that they will get the #1 wild card spot at the very least. Of course, all that means is that they can host the one-off game that takes place between wild card teams.

The Tigers have a 56-42 record and they also have the largest lead out of all the first-place clubs at the moment. One of the interesting things about what they have been able to do is that they have hardly been a dominant team at home (26-25) but rather, have been extremely tough to beat on the road, with a 30-17 mark that is the best in the big leagues.

In the baseball betting lines that have been established at Get That Bet, the Angels are the favorites at home:

Los Angeles Angels (Richards – R) -120
Detroit Tigers (Scherzer – R) +100

Over 7 Runs -120
Under 7 Runs +100

Richards, unbelievably, was left off the AL’s All-Star team, and he has responded to that by being almost unhittable of late. Over his last three starts, he has a 0.81 ERA, with a very impressive 26-4 ratio of strikeouts to walks. Richards has been a minimum of seven innings in 14 of his 20 starts this season. But no one is interested in shutting him down or even limiting his workload at any point this season, as this is a team that is battling for a division title.

Baseball bettors know that Scherzer has been on a nice run himself. On the road he has a 3.43 ERA, but he has been very effective in his last five starts, as he has allowed just seven runs in his last 33-2/3 innings. The Tigers have won 13 of their last 17 games when Scherzer has taken the mound.

In terms of baseball betting trends for the benefit of Get That Bet patrons, the Angels have gone “under” the total in five of their last six games, and as they begin this four-game series, they may be hard-pressed to keep that trend going, as the Tigers have averaged five runs per game on the road.

Richards has faced Detroit twice in his career, and he has shut down the Tigers, period, allowing just five hits in fourteen scoreless innings. In those games the Halos have outscored the Bengals 23-0. At the same time, Scherzer has been very effective against the Angels going back to 2012, as he has permitted four runs and twelve hits in 22 innings. He has registered nine strikeouts in each of his last three starts against Los Angeles.
