From Rotoworld:Manaea was tagged for six runs – two earned – and nine hits with a walk and just one strikeout over three innings in a loss against the Giants on Tuesday. It was Manaea’s second-shortest outing of the season, and his two-inning start on April 26 was curtailed due to a tight left shoulder. He had recorded three straight quality starts at home before the subpar outing, and All-Star Yonder Alonso certainly didn’t do him any favors with an error on a grounder in the first inning to open the early flood gates. He’ll look to bounce back Sunday on the road against the Angels.
Nolasco allowed one earned run, six hits and two walks over six innings in a win against the Phillies on Tuesday. The best part of Nolasco’s pitching line was the zero in the home runs allowed category. After yielding 23 homers over 84 1/3 innings across his first 15 starts, Nolasco is showing improvement. He has served up just four long balls over his past seven outings across 40 2/3 innings. His next start is set for Sunday against the Athletics.
Bet Today’s A’s vs. Angels Game
OUR PREDICTION: The under has now cashed in six of the A’s last eight road games, is 6-2 in their last seven road games versus a right-handed starter, and hit last night in their 5-0 victory over the Angels. The under is also 7-2 in the last nine meetings between these two teams, is 20-9-4 in the Angels’ last 32 games overall, and is 5-0-1 in the Angels’ last five games versus American League West opponents.
