Take #979 Anaheim Angels –108 over Oakland A’s. (Friday, June 6, 10:05 pm EST).<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
The A’s have one of their few struggling pitchers one the mound tonight in the opener. Joe Blanton (3-7, 4.27 ERA) has won just once since April 27 and gave up six runs on 10 hits over six innings in an 8-4 loss on Saturday at Texas. Meanwhile the Angels will go with their ace, John Lackey in the series opener. (1-1, 1.80), has looked good in four starts after missing six weeks due to a triceps strain. He didn’t get a decision Saturday against Toronto, but allowed just two runs - one earned - over eight innings in the Angels 3-2, 10-inning win. Lackey is 6-1 with a 1.87 over his last eight starts against Oakland.<o></o>
