Oakland at Los Angeles

Everyone keeps waiting for the shoe to drop for this Oakland A's team. The oddsmakers are in that group as well, as once again Oakland takes the field as an underdog. They are again a dog, despite proving night in and night out that the sum is greater than the parts. The Angels have the opposite dilemma, as the sum has been less than the parts all season long. Jerome Williams is 6-7 and with a 4.59 ERA does not lend any confidence to the cause tonight. The A's have the best record in baseball vs. right-handed pitching where they are now an unbeatable 41-13 in their last 54 facing one. The Angels have dropped William's last five starts, and we not only have a live dog here, we have the wrong team favored. Play on Oakland.
