Athletics vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’m backing the Athletics in this one. I get the case to be made for a home underdog in spots and I imagine the Angels wouldn’t want to get swept here, but the Athletics are still playing really well right now and Severino’s been a lot more solid on the road. I think the Athletics get the sweep here so give me the A’s.
