I really like the Angels here today as most guys coming off a "perfect game" or "no hitter" will struggle in their next start. I think it happens enough here to the point where the Angels will win the game. Add in the fact that the Angels have a quality lefty going of their own and I see the value I need. The Angels already saw Braden this year and got 3 ER and knocked him out after 6 IP this year.
Saunders will go for the Angels and he had a 4-1 record in 5 starts last year including 1.98 ERA at home. I really look for him to have his best start of the year if he can get his control in order. The A's have really struggled vs. LH pitchers this year scoring just 1.52 runs per 9 in their last 5 with a .183 average 2.72 and a .208 in their last 10 and on the road just a .209 average vs. LHP and 3.57 runs per 9. A's are 2-8 in their last 10 as a road dog and the Angels are 20-9 in Saunders last 29 starts as a favorite.
The Under is 26-10 in Braden's l36 starts on grass and 16-6 in his last 22 with 4 days rest. Angels are under 19-7-1 in their last 27 vs. a LH starter so this should be a low scoring game that the Angels take advantage of playing at home in.
