Ken Macha readies Athletics to face Lackey
The Angels hope they get more respect from the Athletics on Friday than they do from Vegas oddsmakers, who peg them as pups.
Sitting atop the American League West with an 8-8 mark, Los Angeles tabs John Lackey for the job of maintaining that spot. Lackey brings a 2-1 record and a 4.26 ERA into this game.
Los Angeles takes its 8-8 mark to Oakland to battle the 7-9 Athletics today.
The Athletics are favored, opening as 150 chalk, with an opening total of 8. They are 7-9 this season and 9-7-0 OU. The Angels are 8-8 and are 10-6-0 OU.
Last time out, the Angels defeated the Twins 6-4 as pick. That contest went over the closing total.
Ken Macha's troops were at home against the Tigers last game and came away with a 4-3 loss, a game that went under 9. Oddsmakers had them as favorites.
