Los Angeles @ Arizona preview

Chase Field

Last Meeting ( Jun 17, 2015 ) LA Angels 2, Arizona 3


Paul Goldschmidt looks to continue his hitting tear when the Arizona Diamondbacks conclude a string of four straight games against the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. The slugging first baseman homered among two hits in Arizona's 3-2 win on Wednesday and is 15-for-27 with three homers over the last seven games.

Goldschmidt leads the majors with a .363 batting average and has reached base in 27 consecutive games while helping the Diamondbacks win five of their past six games. His 19 homers are fourth-most in the National League and he ranks second in the majors with 54 RBIs. Los Angeles had 11 hits in Wednesday's loss but went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position while losing for the third time in four games. The third-place Angels (33-33) are sitting at .500 in the American League West and trail first-place Houston by 5 1/2 games.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels LH C.J. Wilson (4-5, 3.60 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Allen Webster (1-0, 3.18)

Wilson was terrific on Saturday as he blanked Oakland on two hits over seven innings. The victory snapped a two-game losing streak and marked the second time in four outings that he allowed just two hits during a start. Wilson, who has never started against Arizona, is 1-3 with a 3.86 ERA in six road turns this season.

Webster picked up a victory in his first start with the Diamondbacks when he pitched well against San Francisco last Saturday. He gave up two runs and two hits in 5 2/3 innings upon being recalled when Arizona shifted Josh Collmenter to the bullpen. Webster was 1-0 with a 3.55 ERA in two starts against the Angels when he was a member of the Boston Red Sox.

WALK-OFFS

1. Angels C Chris Iannetta had two hits on Wednesday after entering the contest 1-for-19 in June.

2. Arizona OF/3B Yasmany Tomas had three hits -- including the first triple of his career -- during Wednesday's victory.

3. Los Angeles SS Erick Aybar was hitless in five at-bats on Wednesday and is 1-for-27 over the last seven games.

PREDICTION: Angels 4, Diamondbacks 1

About Units and “ROI”

Units are a standardized measurement used to determine the size of each of your bets relative to your bankroll. For example, if you have a bankroll of $200 and you bet 5% of your bankroll each time, each of your units is worth $10. A bettor with a $2000 bankroll who bets 5% per bet has units of $100. We use the number of units to standardize the amount the trend is up or down across different bet amounts.

ROI is the best indicator of success and measures how much you bet vs. how much you profited. Any positive ROI is good in sports betting with great long-term bettors sitting in the 5-7% range.
