Game of the day: Athletics at Angels
By Covers.com
Oakland Athletics at Los Angeles Angels (-155, 7.5)
The two hottest teams in the American League open a high-stakes, four-game series when the Los Angeles Angels host the Oakland Athletics. The Angels have won six straight and 11 of 12 games and just swept three games from the Athletics in Oakland last week. The Athletics have captured 12 of 15 games with the losses to the Angels being their only defeats since August 23. Both teams still trail Texas in the American League West race.
Oakland just swept a three-game set in Seattle and has won nine consecutive road games. The Athletics are 3 1/2 games behind the Rangers in the West and possess a 2 1/2-game cushion in the AL wild-card race. The Angels outscored Oakland 21-5 in last week’s contest and sit six games behind Texas. Los Angeles is a season-best 14 games over .500 and is one game behind the Baltimore Orioles for the AL’s second wild-card spot. The Angels are 8-7 against Oakland entering the final four meetings of the regular season between the teams.
WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for a possible thunderstorm with a 20 percent chance of precipitation at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics RH Jarrod Parker (9-8, 3.67 ERA) vs. Angels RH Dan Haren (10-10, 4.46)

Pittsburg Pirates at Cincinnati Reds
Cincinnati Reds a solid 44-28 at Great American Ball Park seem unlikely to come up short when they host Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. Reds send Mat Latos (12-4, 3.69 ERA) to the mound. The right-hander off back-2-back strong performances in defeating D-Backs, Phillies is 4-0 with a miniscule 1.67 ERA vs Bucs over five career starts (5-0 TSR, Reds/Padres). On the other mound, Wandy Rodriguez (10-13, 3.71 ERA) also off a pair of wins with a string of 13 scoreless innings but in this case the hurler heads to the bump ridding a 0-3 skid vs Cincinnati including a loss as a Pirate.
Detroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox
The Chicago White Sox host the Detroit Tigers and Oakland A's visit the Los Angeles Angels in spotlight four-game matchups early this week. White Sox looking to put some distance between themselves and Tigers in the AL Central standings will also be looking to reverse a 7 game skid and 4-10 season slide vs Tigers when they meet in this crucial set. Totals players' will be leaning 'Under' knowing the series has posted a 4-9-1 O/U record to-date. Meanwhile, Halos ramping it up of late winning 11-of-12 including a three-game sweep of A's last week in Oakland hope the streak continues as they've been on the losing end of this series recording a 7-8 mark in 15 encounters vs. A's including 2-4 as host. This should be another series attracting 'Under' bettors as the clubs are 4-10-1 O/U with 5-of-6 playing 'Under' at Angel Stadium.
