Athletics vs Angels Prediction

The Angels won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, and are on a seven-game winning streak over the A’s. This season, Los Angeles won all six meetings, and although I believe they can sweep the Athletics for the second time, I am going with Over instead. Last night, the teams surprisingly combined for just three runs, but that’s not going to be the case on Wednesday. JP Sears allowed multiple runs in each of his last five starts, while Kyle Hendricks surrendered multiple runs in each of his previous six starts. Last time out against the Angels, Sears allowed six runs in a 10-5 defeat, while Hendricks’ previous start against the A’s was a 7-5 win, in which he allowed four runs. I am going with Over.
