Angels vs Athletics: 2020 MLB Opening Day Picks and Predictions

This AL West division matchup will take place this Friday Night, July 24th at 10:10pm et at the Oakland Coliseum.

The current odds have the Athletics as the -150 home favorites and the Angels as +130 underdogs and the over/under at 8.5 total runs at the -110 price. The betting public has 53 percent of their money on Oakland.

The Angels have the lefty Andrew Heaney taking the mound who’s 20-26 overall in the last two seasons and coming off a pretty rough spring training. He was the projected #1 starter entering 2019 because of his very dangerous sinker and curveball with a high strikeout rate. Heany is 2-2 when starting against Oakland with an ERA of 3.99 and a WHIP of 1.017 and his team is 2-4 over in these starts.

On the other side the A’s have Frankie Montas on the mound who started last season on fire and on his way to being an All Star, until he got busted for PEDs and suspended for 80 games. Montas went 9-2 overall along with a 2.63 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP, but the big question is was he really improving on his development or was most of it because of the alleged steroids.

Los Angeles is 1-7 straight up in their last 8 games against Oakland and the total has gone over in 4 of the Angels’ last 5 games on the road.

Oakland is 14-5 straight up in their last 19 games against an opponent in the AL West Division and the total has gone over in 5 of the Athletics last 6 games when playing at home against the Angels.
