Los Angeles Angels vs Oakland Athletics Best Picks
Patrick Sandoval knows the Athletics unit pretty well, as he has faced them thrice this season. He's a decent strike-thrower and likes to work his off-speed curve ball and four-seam fastball on the hill. He rattles the hitters on a 2-2 count and is very effective in stopping runners from advancing the bases.
Pick: Patrick Sandoval over 5.5 strikeouts (-145)
Los Angeles Angels vs Oakland Athletics Prediction
The Angels are well and truly on one of their best winning streaks this season. They will look to continue their good run of form here.
Their hitting unit runs deep, and the bullpen has been producing some really good outings lately. Expect the Over stat to work properly tonight as they look to take advantage of a struggling pitcher.
Over 7 (-115)
