DAN BEHRINGER REVIEW-JOURNAL, 1-7 (overall record)

Today’s best bet: Los Angeles Angels (+125) over SEATTLE MARINERS

While the Angels are on cruise control after clinching the AL West, they have won eight of 11 and show no signs of slowing down. The Mariners, who will start Felix Hernandez (9-11), stopped a 12-game losing streak Tuesday. The Angels start Jon Garland (14-8), whose ERA has ballooned to 6.46 in his past three starts. But he’s 8-3 with a 3.40 ERA in his career when starting against Seattle.
