Oakland Athletics vs LA Angels Prediction

You could make a case for the Angels because Paul Blackburn hasn’t pitched in two months, while Carson Fulmer has actually pitched well this season. However, the Angels are still the Angels, a team that doesn’t inspire confidence and can’t string together offense. The Oakland Athletics have run hot bats over the last couple of weeks, and they remain valuable in the betting market as long as that continues. Give me the Athletics to keep this run going.
