Preview

The Angels and Oakland Athletics will play game 1 and the last game of their 6-Game series on Tuesday at Angel stadium of Anaheim. The Angels are 5-2 straight up Vs the A's so far this season.

Los Angeles Angels 

Los Angeles have been very shaky this season as they have a losing record and they are way lower than 50% winning record. The Angels are coming off a 2-5 loss Vs Texas Rangers on Monday and they have lost this series 1-3 on the road and now they will play 6 games series at home Vs the A's. The Angeles are 26th in runs scored and 14th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Noah Syndergaard (5-8, 3.82 ERA) will be on the mound for the Angels in game 1 on Tuesday, Syndergaard's last start was against Kansas city Royals and he went 5.20 innings allowing 1 earned run and had 6 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 0-7 loss for the Angels.

Oakland Athletics 

Oakland Athletics have been a lot better lately after a very slow start in the beginning of the season but they still have a very bad record overall. Oakland are 7-3 straight last 10 games and they are have lost their last series Vs Chicago White Sox 1-2 on the road. Oakland are 29th in runs scored and 22nd in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Cole Irvin (6-7, 3.05 ERA) will be on the mound for the Athletics in game 1 on Tuesday, Irvin's last start was against Houston Astros and he went 7 innings allowing 2 earned runs and had 4 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 4-2 win for A's.

Betting Trends

Los Angeles Angels have gone Under the total in 5 of last 7 games.

Los Angeles Angels are 5-14 Straight up last 19 games.

Los Angeles Angels are 1-6 straight up last 7 home games.

Oakland Athletics are 7-3 Straight up last 10 games.

Oakland Athletics are 1-4 Straight up last 5 games Vs the Angels.

Oakland Athletics have gone Under the total in 6 of last 7 road games.

Prediction

We have the 29th team in offense standing (A's) and the 26th in offense (Angels) in this game so two really bad offenses in a game that should be low in the score. Oakland are 6-1 to the Under in the last 7 road games and the Angels are 5-2 to the Under last 7 games overall so give me the Under in this game.

PICK: Total Under 7.5 (+104).
