The Los Angeles Angels love their chances when Jered Weaver takes the mound. So does the betting public, as Weaver has emerged as one of the top pitchers in baseball. There is, however, a marked difference in what he delivers at home vs. on the road, and he is overvalued here. Weaver is a sterling 65-26 at home, but on the road he has been a pedestrian 49-49. When he starts on the road, as a -131 or more favorite, he actually has a losing record at 12-13. The Angels are not playing well, and Weaver is not a top pitcher on the road. The Angels are just 4-15 in their last 19 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. The A's have come up aces at home vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400 as they are 43-21 in their last 64. Play on Oakland.
