Athletics vs Angels Prediction
The Athletics are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings against the Angels and have won their last four visits in Los Angeles.
In this Athletics vs Angels Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The A’s are going for a bullpen game and I don’t trust the Angels in general so I will go with the over in this game. Both pitchers were torched in their previous starts against the other team this season, as Perkins gave up 4 runs and Detmers has given up 13 in two starts. The A’s are better against lefties, both bullpens are bottom-7 in the league and the opening game of this series had 12 total runs. Take the over 8.5 in this one.
