LATE NIGHT MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE *NO-BRAINER*
(MLB) LA Angels vs. Oakland, 09/18/2018 6:05 PM, Score: 9 - 7
Money Line: -135.00 Oakland (Home)
Result: Loss
The Oakland Athletics are battling the New York Yankees for the top wild card spot in the American League, and I think they'll come out 100% motivated for this series-opener with the LA Angels.

Halos left-hander Tyler Skaggs (8-8, 3.78 ERA) was tagged with seven runs and 10 hits in 3 1/3 innings in a 7-0 los to Oakland on Aug 11. He is 2-5 with a 5.32 ERA in eight career starts against Oakland which is 22-9 in its last 31 games vs. a left-handed starter.

The A's hand the ball to right-hander Liam Hendriks (0-1, 5.60 ERA). He has allowed two runs and four hits in 5 2/3 innings as an "opener" and will not be on the mound for too many innings with the A's making this a bullpen day.

Athletics are 46-11 in their last 57 vs. a team with a losing record. Angels are 6-20 in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning record.

8* play on Oakland Athletics.
