MLB action continues on Thursday with a matinee matchup between the Los Angeles Angels (23-25) and the Athletics (22-28).
Despite modest expectations this season, the Angels have won six straight games, including three victories each against the Dodgers and the Athletics. They sit fourth in the AL West, five games back of the first-place Mariners.
In a thrilling 10-5 win over the Athletics on Wednesday, Logan O’Hoppe led the charge with two home runs, while Hector Neris secured the win in relief.
Tyler Anderson takes the mound for the Angels, boasting a 2-1 record and a solid 3.04 ERA this season. His last outing was a no-decision against the Dodgers, where he allowed four earned runs over five innings.
The Athletics, on an eight-game losing streak, have struggled recently, dropping multiple games to both the Dodgers and Giants.
They now sit at 22-28, last in the AL West. In Wednesday’s loss, JP Sears gave up six earned runs in five innings despite Tyler Soderstrom’s strong 3-for-4 showing.
Luis Severino will start for the Athletics. He has a 1-4 record with a 4.22 ERA in ten starts this season. His most recent outing was a no-decision against the Giants, where he pitched six scoreless innings.
While I expect Anderson to perform well, betting the over seems wise.
Games at Sutter Health Park have favored the over this season (16-8), and the Angels hit well against Severino, making the over a feasible option given both teams’ struggles in the bullpen.
Over 10.5 runs at -120 odds is the play in this game.
Best Bet: Over 10.5 Runs at -120 odds
