Rookie hurlers face off in Anaheim

Baseball Betting Lines

07/04/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will take to the field this evening, as they host the Baltimore Orioles in the second matchup of a three-game stint at Angel Stadium.

Sean O'Sullivan has been a solid fill in for an Angels rotation that has been depleted by injuries. O'Sullivan has made three starts since being called up to the majors, and in those outings he has complied a 2-0 mark with a 3.00 earned run average.

The last time the right-hander was on the hill he tossed six solid innings against Texas, surrendering just two runs on six hits, while also striking out five batters.

The Orioles will turn to their own rookie pitcher when they send Jason Berken to the rubber. Berken won his season debut, but since then the right-hander has lost five of his last six starts.

The last time Berken was on the hill he allowed four runs on eight hits in five innings of work against Boston.

On Friday, Aubrey Huff went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, as Baltimore hung on to edge the Angels, 6-4. Luke Scott stroked a two-run double for the Orioles, who won for just the second time in their last six tries.

Nick Markakis went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.

David Hernandez (2-2) lasted 6 2/3 innings, giving up three runs on six hits with two strikeouts and two walks to collect his second win in his fourth start in the majors. George Sherrill picked up his 18th save of the year.

"Impressive. He was throwing strikes and used all his pitches really well. He commanded his fastball and showed great poise," Orioles manager David Trembley said about Hernandez.

Kendry Morales belted a two-run homer for the Angels, who have dropped three of their last four. Maicer Izturis went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI, while Vladimir Guerrero drove in the other run for Los Angeles, which won, 5-2, in the opener of the series on Thursday.

Ervin Santana (1-4) went five frames, allowing six runs -- four earned -- on eight hits with five strikeouts and three walks to take the loss for LA. Santana was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to the game.

"I felt good. My location was okay, but I made a few mistakes. My arm felt good, but I just want to win," Santana said.

The Angels swept a two-game series from the Orioles at Camden Yards back in April and went 6-3 against Baltimore last season. The O's are just 5-13 in Anaheim since the start of the 2006 campaign.

The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
