Both teams' lineups are above average against right-handed pitching. After struggling for a bit, Oakland RHP Frankie Montas has been better at home. Moved to the bullpen in late June, Angels RHP Dylan Bundy will make a spot start. He allowed 11 runs over 4 2/3 innings in two turns against the Athletics earlier this season. The weather in Anaheim will favor the hitters, so take the Over.
Books just opened this because the Angels will not start Alex Cobb as they hoped (blister) but instead Dylan Bundy (1-7, 6.69). He's the West Coast version of Matt Harvey and should always be faded. His ERA in 5.2 innings vs. Oakland this year? 17.47. A's starter Frankie Montas has a 1.42 ERA in two starts vs. the Angels, who lost another big bat to IL this week in Jared Walsh. Meanwhile, it should be the debut of A's trade acquisition and outfielder Starling Marte.
