LOSS

Something just insn't right with LA right now. No way they should have lost last night but they did. In the past week and a half they have now lost on four times including three to Kansas City and Tampa Bay. This afternoon they are big road favorites against a good starting pitcher in Casey Fossum. Fossum has a 3.33 home ERA and 2-1 record and he's 8-1 the last two seasons at home during the second half of the season. Bartolo Colon has a very good ERA on the road (3.03) but he's just 1-2 and 1-5 overall. Tampa Bay is a winning home team and they've found offense of late (6.4 runs per game over their last seven games). Road teams hitting under .265 with a starting pitcher whose gives up 7 or more hits per start vs. a team with a bad bullpen (ERA 5.00+) are just 20-44 (31%) over the last 5 seasons. Tampa Bay as big home dog in this one.
