Los Angeles at Las Vegas

Walbert Ureña arrived as an unknown quantity on Opening Day for the Angels, a 22-year-old rookie with no track record at the major league level and a rotation spot filled by organizational necessity. Five months in, the results have been difficult to dismiss. Ureña has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start since April, building a 2.60 ERA across 62 innings by executing rather than overpowering. His contact metrics back it up: opponents are making weak contact against him consistently, with his barrel rate sitting well below league average. J.T. Ginn has been solid on the other side for the Athletics, holding opponents to two or fewer earned runs in seven of his last eight starts, but the Angels are taking the runline insurance tonight, and this matchup sets up close. Los Angeles has dropped three straight, but the picture changes with Ureña on the mound. Play the Angels on the runline tonight.
