These are very important games for the Athletics, but I am not sold they will come out on top.
Oakland is the better team here, but I feel better with the Angels.
I look for Jose Suarez to keep up his good pitching and for the Angels to do enough against Jefferies to get a win.
I will lay the 105 with the Angels here.
