Money line (ML)
The ATHLETICS (-145) are the play in this matinee contest. It’s a quick turnaround, and you can expect a lower-scoring game for a nice parlay opportunity, too.
The A’s have won 21 of the past 28 at home against the Angels and 22 of the past 30 overall.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The ATHLETICS -1.5 (+135) covered last night’s game by a 4-1 score, and they’ll cover again. The Angels +1.5 (-165) are skidding posting just two wins in the past 12 games inside the division. They’re also just 2-6 in the past eight against teams with a winning overall record.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 9 (-120) is the best play on the board. These teams just played last night and have a quick turnaround for an afternoon game. The bats should be behind the pitchers just like they were in Monday’s battle.
