Oakland Athletics -129 5.5* MLB POD
I really like the A's here to bounce back from their 2 game losing streak after they had won 4 in a row. Their offense is killing it right now and all they need is the right match up which is what we have today in a day game. First of all the A's pitching staff is 5th in ERA during day games while the Angels are 30th, dead last in OPS during day games and they come in with a 5-11 record.

Jesse Hahn will make the start for Oakland and he has a career ERA under 2 in day starts. I really like his chances going up against the Angels who hit LHP better anyways. Jerred Weaver on the other hand will have his hands full. While Weaver has a great history against Oakland his last 3 starts at Oakland have not been as great allowing 14 ER in 19.2 IP. His 5.57 ERA on the road and the fact that both left handed batters and right hand batters are hitting him hard leaves me to worry. Weaver has not pitched well in his 2 day starts and he will be on 4 days rest here for the 3rd game in a row and has posted a 6.64 ERA this month. He'll face Oakland who has been killing RHP scoring 7 runs per 9 over their last 10 games vs. RHP. They also hit the curve and change very well which are pitches Weaver definitely leans on throughout an outing. I'm expecting Oakland to bounce back here with a nice win after losing 12-7 the night before.
