Prediction published on 6/20/26, 6:31 PM  by Lou Aguila in MLB Picks

The Athletics target a sweep over the Los Angeles Angels in Game 3 of their weekend series on Saturday.

Current Form:

The Athletics proved two things in their two victories over the Angels this weekend. First, they have the impeccable pitching to shut down any team. Second, they can also outgun their opponents with their offense. The Athletics blanked the Angels 5-0 in Game 1 behind a seven-inning masterclass by Gage Jump, and then rallied from 4-11 down to beat Los Angeles 12-11 in Game 2.

As for the Angels, who have now lost their last three games and five of their last six, the setbacks further exposed their weakness on all fronts. Over the last five games, Los Angeles has averaged 4.3 runs per game on a .262 BA and pitched to a 5.74 ERA.

Caesars Sportsbooks posts the Athletics as massive favorites at -170 moneyline and +115 to cover -1.5 runs. The A’s will be starting RHP JT Ginn, who has had two shutout stints in his last four starts.

The Angels, who are +143 road underdogs, will turn to RHP Walbert Urena, who has also delivered solid numbers lately. Urena has registered a 3-2 record and a 2.48 ERA over his last five mound appearances.
