Prediction: Los Angeles Angels VS Oakland Athletics 2025-05-21 22
The battle for California supremacy is on. The Los Angeles Angels, led by the scorching hot Nolan Schanuel, are looking to sweep the Oakland Athletics, who are desperately trying to break their seven-game losing streak.
The Athletics will send JP Sears to the mound, who boasts a respectable 3.31 ERA and 7.0 strikeouts per nine innings. Meanwhile, the Angels will counter with Jack Kochanowicz, who has a 4.71 ERA and 5.3 strikeouts per nine innings. Not exactly the most intimidating matchup, but hey, someone's gotta win, right?
The Angels have been the underdog 38 times this season and have won 17 of those games, which is a pretty impressive 44.7% win rate. The Athletics, on the other hand, have a 9-6 record as the moneyline favorite, but they're facing a team that's been on a roll.
Given the odds, I'm going to take the Los Angeles Angels -1.5 at 2.0. The Angels have the momentum, and Schanuel is on fire. The Athletics are struggling to find their footing, and Sears might not be enough to stop the Angels' offense.
As for the total, I'm leaning towards the Over 10.5 at 1.87. Both teams have been known to put up some runs, and with Kochanowicz on the mound, the Athletics might just find their groove.
So, there you have it. Angels -1.5 and Over 10.5. Don't @ me.
