Angels vs Athletics
Underdog wings ready to clip a familiar flock.

Angels (21-25) VS Athletics (22-26)
May 21, 2025 | 10:05 PM ET | Sutter Health Park

The Angels head into this matchup looking to keep a five-game run going, while the Athletics have dropped seven straight games. Both lineups are dealing with depth concerns, and the Athletics’ offense has had particular trouble producing with runners in scoring position. On the mound, neither starting pitcher has dominated this year, but the Angels get a slight edge thanks to recent outings and some matchup trends that favour their lineup, especially against left-handed pitching.
Considering the current state of both teams and the plus-money being offered, the Angels present solid value as an underdog. While bullpen volatility remains a concern, the combination of recent pitching form and favourable lineup matchups gives them a good shot at an upset, making this a worthy B grade play for bettors looking for a potential payoff.

The A's come into this game struggling to find consistent offensive production in their seven game skid. Meanwhile, the Angels have won five straight games but been especially impacted by key injuries, while the Athletics are also without some important bats, resulting in both lineups landing in the bottom third of the league in OPS. On the mound, each side gets quality from their starting pitcher, and the recent performance from both bullpens has kept late-game scoring in check.
With the combination of pitcher-friendly park factors, limited lineup depth, and well-rested relievers after an off-day, this game is set up to stay under the 10.5 total. If you’re eyeing a spot for a lower-scoring outcome, this one makes a lot of sense, with both teams showing more reliability on the mound than at the plate lately.

The Angels enter this game looking to keep a winning streak alive, but roster absences and injuries have thinned their lineup and rotation, making the challenge even steeper. The Athletics, meanwhile, have been floundering recently, dropping seven straight games, but their bullpen has delivered reliable late-inning performances. With both teams missing key pieces, the matchup leans toward the hosts, who hold a slight edge in depth and pitching, especially with their hard-throwing closer anchoring the back end.
Given the way both teams have played recently, the A's should be well-positioned to cover the run line. The expectation is for the Athletics to build a lead and maintain it through the later innings, making this a logical spot to back them by two runs. This is a solid play if you’re seeking a modest but likely payout.
