Wednesday: 6-2, but Seattle looks like a loser, and the Angels likely- I don't see how their bullpen can keep this game close.
Oakland ML. One unit
Oakland-1 (+132). One unit. Milone has a couple of bad games vs. the Angels, but at home, and with his skills and smarts, he can tame the Angels. We have to stop thinking of the Angels as loaded with hitters and power. They aren't. Hamilton and Pujols are not the same, especially Hamilton. They have a few key hitters on the DL, and the bullpen is one of the worst. The AL is a bad place to have a weak bullpen. And they tend to sweep or get swept(the Mariners even won 3 out 4 vs. the Angels). CJ Wilson fits the bill as another overpaid Angel who will never fulfill the bucks he's getting. The A's are hitting LHP very well this year, and have seen CJ enough to know what to expect. The A's have as much an underrated lineup as the Angels is underrated.The A's might be on the verge of one of their surges. Also, a much better bullpen. At home vs. the hated Angels.
