Los Angeles at Oakland

The A's thought Trevor Cahill was going to pitch well, but he has struggled bigtime of late, pitching to an 11.37 ERA in his last three starts. What gets shortsided here, is the fact that he had a 3.68 ERA through 14 starts, so the ability and the body of work is still much more positive than the last three. He definetly is not alone in recent struggles as Joe Saunders has been really struggling, pitching to an 11.57 ERA over his last three. The Angels have won just once in his last five road starts. Oakland has displayed an offense that has produced less than four runs per game on the road, but a much better 4.5 at home. The bleeding doesn't stop behind Joe Saunders as the Angels' bullpen is ranked No. 28 with a 5.08 ERA and that should be the difference maker here. I'm going with the A's.
