Oakland at Los Angeles

Eric Surkamp will makes his third start against the Angels this season after allowing four runs in 10 2/3 innings, including two runs and six hits in six innings on Sunday. Oakland won last night's contest 5-4 for the Angels fourth straight loss and Los Angeles is now 15-21 at home. The Angels have lost 21 of their last 29 games against teams with losing records. Jered Weaver will be hard-pressed to duplicate his last start, which was a 2-0 complete-game win against these A's. In his previous two games, Weaver had given up 12 runs (11 earned) and 17 hits in 15 innings. Weaver is 6-6 with a 5.10 ERA on the season and 5.49 ERA at home and his best years are behind him. Oakland is a live underdog in this matchup. Take the Athletics.
