(MLB) LA Angels vs. Oakland, 09/05/2017 6:05 PM, Score: 8 - 7
Money Line: 132.00 Oakland (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking OAKLAND tonight. Angels have seemed to be playing in some crazy games lately. 11-9 last night. 6-7, 7-4, 9-10, 10-8. That has to put a strain on a bullpen. Even bringing up extra September arms. What sticks out most is that 10-8 game. That was on August 30th, vs this same A's team. And against Kendall Graveman. He gave up 8 that game. Always like to back a guy after a team roughs him up in the previous start. The splits show us that at home, very effective. 2.70 ERA in 7 starts (6.75 ERA 7 road starts). Plus, another thing that I love to fade. A pitcher in his first start off the DL. In this case, Richards has been sidelined for 5 months last pitching in April. When healthy, the Angels were just 3-8 in Richards last 11 starts vs Oakland. I'll grab the dog here. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's
