MLB | A's vs Angels
Play on: A's -110 at BetPhoenix
1* Free Pick on Oakland A's -110
Oakland should have no problem going into Los Angeles and taking the series opener against their division rivals. The A's are red-hot right now, as they have won 6 of their last 7. While the Angles are fresh off a 3-game sweep of the Tigers at home, that's nothing to get excited about. Keep in mind they had dropped 6 of their previous 7 before getting to play Detroit.
Not only is Oakland the better team, but they have a big edge on the mound in this one. The A's will send out veteran Brett Anderson, who has really been throwing it well of late. Anderson has a 2.84 ERA and 1.000 WHIP in his last 3 starts. In his last outing, he allowed just 2 hits over 7 shutout innings.
Angels will counter with Felix Pena, who has struggled over his first 8 starts. Pena is 1-3 with a 4.59 ERA and 1.444 WHIP. He's also had a really tough time at home, where he's got a 6.53 ERA and 1.597 WHIP in 5 starts. Look for the A's to score early and often in this one. Take Oakland!
