Angels vs Athletics MLB Betting Preview
Los Angeles Angels Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Angels (30-45) are set to open up a four-game series against the Athletics (36-38). Los Angeles has won five of its last eight games, but they're coming off an 8-1 loss. They had to travel from Arizona to Sacramento for this game with no day off, while the A's remained at home, so that's a slight edge with travel.
Jose Soriano is on the mound for the Angels. He's been terrific for them, but he's a bit banged up, dealing with chest tightness and sore legs after he got hit by a line drive by Jonathan Aranda. It will be interesting to see how he responds in this one.
Athletics Betting Preview
The Athletics (36-38) have now dropped two games in a row, coming off a blowout loss against the Pirates. They're sending out promising rookie left-hander Gage Jump.
The Angels have never seen Jump before, so there's a chance that they may find his 107 Stuff+ hard to deal with here.
Angels vs Athletics Pick, Betting Analysis
Jose Soriano is having a nice year, but he hasn't been the same lately. In his last nine starts, Soriano has a 4.74 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP with a 22.3% strikeout rate and a 13.2% walk rate in 49.1 innings. The underlying metrics don't look much better, as highlighted by a 4.61 SIERA.
While Soriano has pitched well against the A's this year, this will be the third time that they've faced him this season. That kind of familiarity can give the A's the edge here. We also have to acknowledge that Soriano is banged up with a chest issue, so it remains to be seen how that can affect him on the mound.
On the other side, Gage Jump is finding his groove in the big leagues. After an underwhelming debut in which he allowed four earned runs over five innings, Jump has allowed only four earned runs in his last three starts, spanning 18.1 innings.
That's why I'm giving the A's the edge on the mound. At a -130 price at home against an abysmal Angels team, this looks like the right side.
Pick: Athletics ML (-140 or Better)
