TOP AL AFTERNOON TOTAL (+$40,000 ALL PICKS IN 2021!)
(MLB) Oakland vs. LA Angels, 08/01/2021 4:07 PM, Score: 8 - 3
Total: 9.50 | -114.00 Over
Result: Win
This is an 8* AL AFTERNOON TOTAL on the OVER A's/Angels.

The first three games of this four game series have all gone UNDER the number, but I finally expect some offensive fireworks in the finale.

Oakland goes with Daulton Jefferies (0-0, 0.00 ERA), who has been called up to make his MLB debut. Jefferies has a terrible 5.19 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 59 Triple A innings of work this season.

LA goes with Reid Detmers (0-0, 0.00) who is also making his MLB debut today. In his most Triple A Salt Lake start, he went six scoreless and struck out nine. Over 19 frames in Triple A he has a sharp 30:4 K:BB, but clearly he's going to have his hands full with this dangerous A's lineup.

I don't trust either rookie to go very deep.

The A's have also seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which they were shutout in.

The stage is set for an offensive affair. The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
