In this Athletics vs Angels Prediction, the Angels are coming as -130 home favorites. Both pitchers have been in good form lately, having two earned runs in each of their last two starts, but the Angels have been excellent against lefties this season. Detmers has a better expected ERA and will face a struggling A’s offense that has scored just two runs in their last two games, so I like the value with the home team in this matchup. Take the Angels on the moneyline.
