Today's MLB Baseball Picks:
Game: Los Angeles Angels at Oakland (10:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Oakland -130 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.3)
Second half action gets underway tonight with the Oakland A's hosting the Anaheim Angels. It has been a breakout season for Dallas Braden of the A's, who enters this one with a 2.45 ERA in his last four starts, and a 3.12 ERA overall. Braden has pitched extremely well at home where he has not allowed more than three runs in any of his nine home starts, while pitching to a 2.79 ERA. Such have not been the fortunes of Ervin Santana of the Angels. Santana has struggled all season long, where he is just 1-5 with a 7.81 ERA. As hard as it is to believe he has been even worse of late, posting an ERA close to 10 in his last three starts. Also, in the last five times he has started for the Angels as a dog of +110 to +150, he has gone down to defeat. What makes this an even more of a difficult task for the Angles is that Santana is backed by a bullpen that is allowing over five runs a game, and ranked third from the bottom in all of MLB. I’m going with the A's here.
Game: Los Angeles Angels at Oakland (10:10 PM Eastern)Pick: 2 units on Oakland -1.5 runs +160 (runline) (risk 2 to win 3.2)
This pitching matchup is probably about as favorable as it will ever get for the A's vs. the Angels. Braden has pitched brilliantly all season - especially at home, and Santana has struggled all season long, and even more so lately. That is certainly a huge factor all unto itself, but when you consider that Santana is likely to need a lot of bullpen support here, and the Angels pen brings a 5.08 ERA into the mix, there should be ample scoring opportunities for the A's here, so I'm going with them on the runline.
