Free MLB Total Picks: Los Angeles Angels vs Oakland Athletics 7/28

### Game Summary The Los Angeles Angels are set to face off against the Oakland Athletics on July 28 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. This matchup features two teams struggling for consistency this season. The Angels currently hold a record of 45-59, while the Athletics come in at 43-63. Both teams are in the lower tier of the American League standings, making this a crucial game for both squads as they look to build momentum heading into the latter part of the season. The Angels have had a tough season, particularly with their hitting, ranking 25th in the league with just 417 runs scored. Their pitching has also struggled, with a team ERA of 4.63, placing them 28th in the league. On the other hand, the Athletics have been slightly better offensively, with 440 runs scored, ranking 19th, and an ERA of 4.40, ranking them 23rd. The last few games have been a roller coaster for both teams, but the Angels will look to build on their recent successes after winning three straight against the Seattle Mariners. However, their recent performances against the Athletics have been concerning, losing five of their last six encounters, which could weigh heavily on their confidence. In terms of pitching, Jose Soriano (6-7, 3.51 ERA) will take the mound for the Angels, while Osvaldo Bido (2-1, 3.09 ERA) will represent the Athletics. Both pitchers have shown flashes of brilliance, but consistency has been an issue. Given the stakes of this matchup, both teams will be looking to capitalize on any opportunities presented.
