Athletics at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Athletics 4, Angels 3
Money line
BET ATHLETICS (+155).
The Angels are overvalued in this spot, especially since Lorenzen’s stats vs. Oakland are not sustainable this season. The A’s should win straight up Wednesday.
Run line/Against the spread
BET ATHLETICS +1.5 (-130).
Oakland should bounce back after blowing an early 3-run lead to the Angels Tuesday. Take advantage of the low price and bet the A’s on the RL.
Over/Under
PASS.
This number is right where it should be. There are better opportunities on the ML and RL.
