Oakland at Los Angeles

A pair of weak AL West offensive teams clash. Oakland's offense is 20th in runs scored, on-base percentage, and steals. At least they have Osvaldo Bido (3.09 ERA) on the mound with batters hitting just .195 off him. The A's bullpen is terrific, ranked fifth in the majors in ERA (3.54). The Los Angeles offense is 27th in runs scored, 25th in on-base percentage, and 23rd in slugging. Starter Jose Soriano (3.51 ERA) is holding batters to a .219 average. With the Angels on a 12-8-1 run UNDER the total (including 5-1 UNDER versus righty starters), look for more defense than offense. Take Oakland/Los Angeles UNDER the total.
