The Athletics are somehow in first place in the AL West with a .500 record, and they have lost five of seven. They were outscored 16-5 in their last two games of a three-game series with San Francisco this past weekend. The Angels have won 10 of the past 14 meetings, and they look to bounce back from a disastrous weekend against the Dodgers, who were seeking revenge after going 0-6 against the Angels last season. The Athletics have gone UNDER six of nine overall and nine of 11 against American League opponents. Los Angeles is 12-5 UNDER its past 17 games, 10-4 UNDER at home. Walbert Urena has pitched better than his record indicates for the Angels, as he has allowed only four runs on seven hits in 16 innings in his last three starts. He has a 2.12 ERA and a .143 opponent batting average in home games. Take the Angels and the UNDER.
