Putting the Angels in our baseball picks will take some resolve, but they are a much better team than the A’s, and they’ve got the edge on the mound with Michael Lorenzen (4.36 xFIP). The Halos won both his starts against Oakland back in May by a combined score of 14-4.
Adrian Martinez gets the call for the A’s, and while the rookie’s 4.22 xFIP is much lower than his 6.10 ERA, Martinez has provided just one quality start in his 10 appearances for Oakland – and the A’s have the second-worst bullpen in the majors, according to the WAR charts at FanGraphs.
