Los Angeles Angels vs. Oakland Athletics – 8/10/20 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction


2020-08-10 21:40:00 EDT

The Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels meet Monday in MLB action at Angel Stadium. 

The Oakland Athletics look to keep the ball rolling while building on a nine-game winning streak. The Athletics have scored 13 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last seven games. The Athletics are 12-2 this season when scoring more than one run. Matt Chapman leads the Athletics with 16 hits and eight RBI while Ramon Laureano and Marcus Semien have combined for 30 hits and 14 RBI. Sean Manaea gets the ball, and he is 0-2 with a 8.03 ERA and 12 strikeouts this season. Manaea is 2-4 with a 4.66 ERA and 33 strikeouts in his career against the Angels.

The Los Angeles Angels need a win after losing eight of their last 11 games. The Angels have scored six runs in their last three games and four or more runs in nine of their last 12 games. The Angels are 5-6 this season when scoring four or more runs. David Fletcher leads the Angels with 20 hits and eight RBI while Mike Trout and Brian Goodwin have combined for 26 hits and 20 RBI. Julio Teheran gets the ball, and he is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA and two strikeouts this season. Teheran is 1-0 with a 2.92 ERA and nine strikeouts in his career against the Athletics.

The Athletics are 12-4 in their last 16 road games, 45-18 in their last 63 games as a favorite and 40-18 in their last 58 overall. The Angels are 7-17 in their last 24 during game 1 of a series, 14-38 in their last 52 games as an underdog and 1-4 in their last 5 home games. The under is 10-1 in Athletics last 11 road games. The under is 4-1 in Angels last 5 overall. The Athletics are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles and 10-2 in the last 12 meetings.

I mentioned several days ago that it’s only a matter of time before the Oakland Athletics offense comes to life, and now they’re riding a nine-game winning streak. The A’s are the hottest team in baseball right now and should like their chances to keep things going. Manaea is off to a rough start, allowing 17 hits and 11 earned runs through 12.1 innings, but he’s a better pitcher than that and things will improve as he gets more reps under his belt. Teheran has only pitched 2.2 innings this season, and he’s on an Angels squad that can’t score runs. I’m not stepping in front of the A’s as long as the prices stay reasonable.
