MLB Odds: Athletics-Angels prediction, odds and pick

The Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels are playing each other on Friday night. The Athletics are 16-24 and in the cellar of the AL West. Los Angles is 24-16 and second in their division.

Paul Blackburn has been one of the few bright spots for Oakland. Blackburn's last start was against the Angels and he pitched nearly seven innings of one-run baseball. The venue of this game will help Blackburn. Chase Silseth will make his second career start. Sil seth was pitching in AA at the start of season.

Rookie Silseth won his first start against the Athletics. Oakland is one of the worst offensive teams in the MLB. The Angels have been a better offensive team when they play in Angel Stadium. They've gone 12-7 when playing on their home turf.

Neither side of the spread looks appealing here. The under is the best pick on the board.
