Result: Win
#921 ASA PLAY ON 8* Los Angeles Angels -145 over Oakland Athletics, Sunday at 3:05 PM ET - The Athletics are headed for another rough season and this is a team that went 16-27 against southpaw starters last season. This one Sunday is a match-up of lefties and the Angels should hold the upper hand. The A's got 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th for a 2-1 win in the season opener between these teams. However, after what happened Saturday, that means they have barely held a lead in this series. Oakland's only lead has been heading to the top of the 9th Thursday. In Saturday's game they gave up an 11-spot in the top of the 3rd! The Angels should roll big again Sunday. Ken Waldichuk gets the start here and he has only 7 career MLB starts and those were just last season. Then, this year in spring training he went 0-4 with a 10.54 ERA. Not only did he get hit very hard, the A's lefty also walked an average of 1 batter per inning this spring. The Angels take advantage in this one and former Dodger Tyler Anderson, coming off a strong season, makes his Angels debut here and should shine. Unlike Waldichuk, Anderson is coming off a great spring in which he had a 1.35 ERA in his 3 starts. Also unlike Waldichuk, Anderson is entering his 8th MLB season! He is a veteran that just went 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA last season with the Dodgers. The Angels, when healthy, are a tough team and can challenge in this division. The A's are one of the worst teams not only in the division but in the entire league. There are no signs of an Oakland turnaround in sight and we think yesterday's blowout win is a sign of what is to come Sunday afternoon as well. Road rout for the Angels with the edge in lineup, starting pitcher, and bullpen. The value is on the Angels here ... even at a -145 price.
