LA ANGELS (SHOEMAKER +100) Oakland (Gray)
Great pitchers on bad teams are among the best go-against situations. Oakland is 2-5 the last seven. They have a lousy .305 OBP and .368 slugging in that span.
LA has won three straight. Go with home underdogs with a starting pitcher whose strikes out five or more batters per start, stranding 6.9 or less runners on base per game on the season is +115.8 units including +10.6 this year and +71.3 last five years. Built on pitching and defense, Oakland is -20.6 units.
In their last five games the Halos has a slugging percentage of .454 compared to .358 for the A’s. Athletics are 15-36 in their last 51 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game and 9-25 if their opponent scored two or fewer last game. Anaheim is 10-2 with Shoemaker as an underdog and 23-10 his last 33 overall. LA is 8-2 at home in the series.
As great as Gray has been, Oakland is -1.3 with him. The scary thing is he cannot pitch any better. What happens when he is less than stellar?
