Los Angeles is a -225 favorite in the latest Angels vs. Athletics odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while Oakland is a +185 underdog. The over/under for runs scored is 6.5.
First pitch is set for 4 p.m. ET. The game is one of 16 on the MLB schedule for Wednesday.

After simulating every game on Wednesday 10,000 times, the model is high on the Yankees (-120) to beat the Rangers. New York (99-62) has the second best record in the AL and needs one more victory to reach 100 wins on the season. Meanwhile, Texas (67-94) is closing out a disappointing season after spending millions of dollars on free agents Corey Seager and Marcus Semien last offseason.
The Yankees enter the game with a significant edge in starting pitching. New York starter Domingo German (2-4, 3.31 ERA) is a much better pitcher on the road (2.86 ERA) than at home (3.78). Meanwhile, Rangers starter Glenn Otto has pitched worse at home (5.63) than on the road (4.06). See who else to back right here.
