Angels vs Athletics Prediction

The Angels are 8-1 in their last 9 meetings against the Athletics, and are 4-1 in their last 5 road meetings against the A’s. Over is 6-1 in their last 7 games.

In this Angels vs Athletics Prediction, the Athletics are coming as -115 home favorites. I have no idea what to expect from Luis Morales of the Athletics, but Anderson has been terrible lately for the Angels. He has been weaker on the road, with a 5.52 road ERA, and has been in terrible form, with a 1-4 record and 6.31 ERA across his last five starts. In his previous start against the A’s this season he got torched for 5 earned runs in 4.2 innings pitched. Both teams have bottom-4 bullpen ERA’s and they have both been involved in a lot of high-scoring games lately, going for 14-3-1 to the over in their last 18 games combined. Yesterday’s game had 13 total runs, and I expect more of the same tonight, so take the over 10.5 runs in this one.
