Athletics vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction

I’m on the Angels here. The Athletics have a solid lineup but they’re just in a bit of a slump right now and we just saw this matchup last week and Walbert Urena stifled the Athletics for the second time this season. JT Ginn’s one of the A’s better options, but he’s been hittable and the A’s have been the better lineup against righties in recent weeks. Give me the Angels.
