<b>ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON Money Line: Los Angeles Angels over Oakland A's, Monday at 3:40 PM ET</b><Br><Br>The A's are up 2-1 in this 4-game series but this has been a series that could have gone either way thus far. Arguably the Angels could be up 3-0 and should be up at least 2-1 in this 4-game set. That factor along with the pitching edge here is why this line opened up with Oakland as such a short home favorite. The Angels opened up as a very small underdog for a reason. The first game between these 3 teams show a 7-3 final but the A's hit a grand slam for the win in the bottom of the 10th. The second game saw the Angels win 4-1. Then Sunday's game saw Shohei Ohtani of the Angels allow 5 earned runs without recording an out in the first inning! That set up the A's perfectly but the Angels outscored Oakland 4-1 the rest of the way. We like the resilient Angels to again respond off a loss just like they did in Saturday's game. Los Angeles starts Griffin Canning here and he had a 3.80 ERA in his day game starts last season while holding opponents to a .224 batting average. He enters this start off a great tune up to wrap up summer camp as he pitched 6 scoreless innings in that start and allowed just 3 hits while striking out 5. Canning is ready for an A's team that has not been swinging the bats particularly well early this season. Look for the Angels to get to A's starter Chris Bassitt early and often. In looking at the A's starting pitchers he is the one least ready for the season in terms of having arm strength built up. Bassitt has a history of struggles with the Angels and that includes allowing 11 runs (7 earned) in 9 innings spanning his two career home starts versus LA. This is a potent Angels lineup that has the right match-up here for a breakout game and, per our computer math model, they roll to a road rout in this one.
