The LA Angels when they are healthy are an explosive offense team, but they now start the 2nd half of the season with a few key bats out of the lineup including Torii Hunter Vladimir Guerrero and possibly Juan Rivera who is is day-to-day with a tight hamstring). Considering the Angles banged up wings, the Oakland Athletics look like a very viable wagering option with the very capable Dallas Braden(7-7, 3.12 ERA) on the hill. It must be noted that the As are 7-2 L/9 when Braden starts against a wining team with a win % of .540 to .620 like LAA. The Halos are also at a disadvantage with their starting hurler Ervin Santana(1-5, 7.81 ERA), who has recorded a ugly 0-3 record along with a nasty looking 9.88 ERA in his last three trips to the hill. I know Santana has pitched well in the past vs the As, but all good things must eventually come to end………. Play on the Oakland As
