The last four meetings have gone OVER, including Saturday's 7-3 Oakland win, and the teams have combined to score 32 runs the first two games of this series. The Angels came back from a 6-0 deficit on Friday night to win 13-9 as today's pitcher, Shohei Ohtani homered for the third straight game. Kendall Graveman has gotten pounded his first two starts allowing nine runs on 15 hits in just 10 innings against the Angels and Rangers. Los Angeles collectively has a .290 batting average against Graveman, including Albert Pujols, who bats .424 against him. The right-hander was 5-0 at home last year, but 1-4 with a 6.39 ERA on the road, and gave up 15 runs on 30 hits in 29 innings versus the Angels. The OVER is 8-3-1 the last 12 meetings at Los Angeles overall and amazingly, the Athletics are 21-3-2 OVER their last 26 games against a starter with a WHIP of less than 1.15. Play the OVER.
