CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT OUR PICKS FOR ALL BASEBALL GAMES ON SUNDAY —–><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Over the last several seasons, the Angels and Twins have both been blessed by a magical winning pixie dust. No matter the adversity, no matter what star players they lose, they find a way to win. This year, the twins are holding up their end of bargain, leading the American League Central by four games and winning eight of 10 even with Justin Morneau on the DL (concussion).<\/p>\n The Angels haven\u2019t been as good, playing .500 ball, but they\u2019re seven games back of Texas \u2013 not an insurmountable deficit. Could a win on Sunday Night Baseball give the Angels the momentum surge they seek in the Dog Days of August?<\/p>\n Sunday, August 22, 8:10 p.m. ET<\/strong><\/p>\n Los Angeles Angels (61-61, 2nd<\/sup> place in AL West) The pitching matchup features two talented hurlers, one of whom has performed to expectations this year and one who hasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n Jeff Weaver (11-8, 3.11) 2010 may go down as the year Jered Weaver made the jump from No. 2 to No. 1 starter. With a major-league leading 186 strikeouts in 168 innings this season, he\u2019s shown he can be a true ace. Though he\u2019s just 3-3 since the All-Star break, it\u2019s hardly his fault. Weaver\u2019s ERA has actually come down ; it\u2019s at 2.87 in his seven starts since the break. Though he\u2019s been pedestrian on the road this season, going 6-6 with a 4.50 ERA, Weaver usually handles the Twins well. He\u2019s 4-1 against them with a 3.64 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in his career. Weaver is, however, consistently susceptible to the long ball. Both Delmon Young and Jason Kubel have taken him deep in the past and both guys have flashed plenty of power this year, so Weaver will have to tread carefully.<\/p>\n Scott Baker can be maddening for bettors. Looking at his numbers, you see vast potential. His 121 strikeouts compared to just 31 walks over 144.2 innings show that he has fantastic command of his stuff. But he\u2019s almost too accurate; he hits the strike zone so often that bats connect on his pitches all the time. He\u2019s allowed 21 homers and a .284 average this season.<\/p>\n Baker is 7-3 at Target Field this year but the Angels have really owned him historically. He\u2019s 0-5 with a\u00a0 5.82 ERA over eight career outings versus L.A. And it\u2019s not even the big bats that get to him. The role players \u2013 Maicer Izturis, Eric Aybar, Juan Rivera, Alberto Callaspo \u2013 are the ones with the big success against Baker in the past.<\/p>\n With the Angels trotting out their ace and with Baker never solving the Angels before, I\u2019ll stick with history and pick L.A. to win on the road.<\/p>\n Gambling Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n LA Angels are 7-18 SU in their last 25 games on the road Sunday Night Baseball FREE PICK for Los Angeles Angels vs Minnesota Twins<\/strong><\/p>\n Pick: Los Angeles Angels<\/p>\n ESPN Sunday Night Baseball Prediction (Shea Matthews\u2019 record: 9-9)<\/p>\n Get paid to watch TV?
