Randy’s Pick
The Angels threw in the towel on the season a while ago and who knows whose going to take the mound for them here. Still, I’ll side with the Angels at home. The Athletics are the worst team in baseball, and they’ve failed to make bettors money all season. So, the last game of the season and neither side having anything to play for, I’ll lean toward home field and side with the Angels. We’ve faded the A’s all year. Might as well do it one more time.
