The Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics meet Thursday in MLB action at Oakland Coliseum. 

The Los Angeles Angels look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Angels have scored 26 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last seven games. The Angels have won six of their last eight games when scoring four or more runs. Jared Walsh leads the Angels with 54 hits and 37 RBI while David Fletcher and Shohei Ohtani have combined for 94 hits and 51 RBI. Shohei Ohtani gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 2.37 ERA and 45 strikeouts this season. Ohtani is 2-1 with a 5.54 ERA and 18 strikeouts in his career against the Athletics.

The Oakland Athletics look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Athletics have scored 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last seven games. The Athletics have won five of their last seven games when scoring four or more runs. Ramon Laureano leads the Athletics with 47 hits and 22 RBI while Mark Canha and Matt Olson have combined for 88 hits and 45 RBI. Chris Bassitt gets the ball, and he is 4-2 with a 3.69 ERA and 65 strikeouts this season. Bassitt is 4-3 with a 4.67 ERA and 45 strikeouts in his career against the Angels.

The Angels are 1-4 in their last 5 road games and 29-59 in their last 88 games as an underdog. The Athletics are 6-1 in their last 7 during game 1 of a series and 2-5 in their last 7 overall. The over is 5-1 in Angels last 6 overall. The over is 8-3 in Athletics last 11 overall. The Angels are 2-8 in the last 10 meetings in Oakland and 6-15 in the last 21 meetings.

Both of these teams have had issues with consistency the last couple of weeks, but you can understand the A’s being favored at home. However, we’re getting the Angels in the underdog role with their star player Shohei Ohtani on the mound. Ohtani has been electric this season both on the mound and with the bat, and he’s a strong early candidate for AL MVP. The Angels offense is also coming off a highly successful series against the Rangers. Give me the road underdog here.
