Monday MLB Free Picks
(The Spread) – The A’s will look to snap their current five-game losing streak when they travel to L.A. to take on the Angels at 10:05PM ET.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog.com have made the Angels –203 money line favorites over the A’s, who are +190 on the ML. The over/under total for this game is currently 7 runs.
As previously mentioned, the A’s have lost five in a row dating back to a 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Twins on May 18. They were just swept by the Giants in San Francisco is weekend, even though their pitching was quite good. They’re getting very little help from their beleaguered offense, one in which has scored just five runs over their last three games.
The Angels haven’t played well over their last 10 games, although they have won two of their last three. Before that, however, they had won just three of their last 10, and had their own five-game losing streak to overcome recently.
MLB Free Pick: There’s a reason why the Angels are favored as much as they are. According to recent MLB trends, the A’s are just 1-8 in their last nine trips to Los Angeles and are 0-5 in their last five outings. But they’re due. Their pitching remains strong and had it not been for a couple of bad breaks in San Francisco, they could have easily taken two of three games out there (save for the dominance that Tim Lincecum displayed on Saturday evening). The A’s are 4-1 in Josh Outman’s last five starts during Game 1 of a series, while the Angels are 0-4 in Jered Weaver’s last four outings.
