Oakland Athletics vs. Los Angeles Angels Betting Prediction
This is a game that will matter very little. Guys that play in this game will be playing for their pride and course to help their seasonal numbers. The Angels are the better team, so that’s who we are going to bet.
This seems like it would make sense to take the Angels and the run line as they get ahead and extend their lead. Not sure there will be a ton of fights in Oakland for this one.
