Oakland Athletics vs LA Angels Prediction
I'm not excited to back the Angels as much as the next guy, but fading the Oakland Athletics sounds wonderful. The A's are showing time and time again they're one of the worst teams in baseball. The LA Angels have issues of their own, but they're comfortably better than the Athletics. Also, Tyler Anderson has pitched like an all star caliber pitcher this season. He just happens to pitch for the Angels so nobody cares. Still, we're getting a cheap price with the Angels at home to fade the Athletics. I'll take it.
