The Oakland A's have had their way with things in the AL West over the past two seasons, and looked to be an easy division winner again this season. That was until the sleeping giant Los Angeles Angels woke up and have been the best team in baseball over the last 38 games where they are a scorching 28-10, and have moved within 1.5 games of the A's. Bud Norris comes off the DL to make his first start in three weeks, and may be rusty, and will likely be on a pitch count. Matt Shoemaker has been a pleasant surprise since being inserted into the rotation for the Halos, as he owns a 4-1 record in five starts and four relief appearances at home, backed by a sturdy 2.84 ERA on the season. The Angels are on a torrid pace as a home favorite where they have surged to a 22-5 record in their last 27 in this role. The Angels are a sizzling 43-21 in their last 64 games, playing better than .667 baseball. Make the play on Los Angeles.
