Los Angeles Angels
Ricky Nolasco beat Kendall Graveman, 2-1, when they faced each other two starts ago in Los Angeles.
We get a rematch on Monday in Oakland with Nolasco insisting he is fine after straining his calf slightly in his last start.

It’s a bit of a different Nolasco than we’ve been used to seeing over the years, a reduced velocity but improved command. He’s walked just seven batters in over 32 innings, compared to 27 Ks.
Los Angeles has dropped a game below .500 after losing two of three in Houston over the weekend.
Oakland Athletics
The A’s won the last two games of their weekend series against Detroit to improve to 9-7 at the Coliseum. Sonny Gray gave up one earned in 4.2 innings but couldn’t last long enough to get a win because the defense behind him allowed three unearned runs.

I actually really like this Oakland starting rotation between Triggs, Graveman and Hahn. Throw in the established guy with Gray and it’s a quiet, yet balanced rotation of guys who will get you six, seven innings and leave you in a position to win. I wouldn’t be surprised if Oakland starts playing better.
That said, Graveman wasn’t good in his last time to the mound – six earned in 3.1 innings against the Twins. He’s still got a WHIP of 1.21 and should be just fine going forward. He’s just a good-looking pitcher, to my eye.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- LAA are 3-11 in their last 14 games as an underdog.
- Under is 19-7 in LAA last 26 road games.
- LAA are 4-10 in their last 14 road games.
- OAK are 3-9 in their last 12 overall.

Free Los Angeles Angels vs. Oakland Athletics MLB Prediction: Graveman gets the best of Nolasco this time.
Nolasco got Graveman in LA and I suspect that the Oakland starter will have just enough extra juice to do the same to Nolasco in Oakland.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Oakland (-125)
Look for the A’s to get on a little bit of a roll.
