Pick
The Athletics have been terrible so far this season and I don’t see their luck changing in this game. Oakland only has five wins on the year and they have the worst team ERA in baseball. Los Angeles is starting Shohei Ohtani, who has been dominant on the mound this year. I like the Angels to win this game by a few runs, so I am taking them -1.5 here.
