Athletics vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction
Awful pitching matchup as both Civale and Aldegheri have had their struggles this season, but somebody has to win. Civale has a 4.88 ERA and 1.58 WHIP, and he’s allowed 15 hits and 8 runs in his last 7 innings. Aldegheri has a 5.47 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, and he’s allowed 19 hits and 12 earned runs in his last 19 innings. Yuck. I’ll roll with the A’s because they’re the better team with the better lineup, and we’re not being asked to lay much. The price is reasonable. Give me the Athletics.
