Oakland +173 over L.A. ANGELS Pinnacle
Angels played a 12-inning game last night against the Jays and had one hit after the fifth inning. They probably got into their beds about 6:00 in the morning today after a heartbreaking and impactful loss last night. They also cross time zones and they’ll face a good one in Gio Gonzalez. Gonzalez has a 3.33 ERA this season and a 3.23 ERA over his past four starts. He can be downright dominating at times and he could be dominating here against a fatigued club. These teams playing spoiler are so dangerous. They’re playing meaningful games and they have an impact on who gets in and who doesn’t. Jered Weaver has tremendous numbers. He has elite control and an elite strikeout rate. However, his skills erode the second and third time through lineups and there’s more reason for concern. His groundball/fly-ball rate over the past month is an alarming 26%/60%. Weaver and the Angels surely can win here but the price is way too high on a more rested and definitely dangerous A’s club that will play their hearts out in this series in an attempt to eliminate the Angels slim hopes. Play: Oakland +173 (Risking 2 units).
WASHINGTON –108 over Atlanta Pinnacle
Stephen Strasburg was a –225 favorite over the Marlins and Chris Volstad his last time out. The Nats lost that game but haven’t lost since. Now the price on Strasburg drops more than a full dollar against a Braves team that is reeling with seven wins in 20 games at the most crucial time of the year. Atlanta has been outscored 87-67 during that 20-game stretch, so they have struggled to score runs while their pitching has frayed. The Braves have a 4.17 September ERA, its worst for any month and considerably higher than its 3.46 season-long ERA. The Nats are loving life right now and would love to make life miserable for the Braves. Strasburg has not walked a single batter in his 14 frames while striking out 11. He has a 1.29 ERA and while he may not go more than five, the Nats pen has been near flawless for weeks. Again, Strasburg was a-225 favorite last time out and he’s underwhelmingly less this time out and now the Nats are on fire. Play: Washington –108 (Risking 2.16 units to win 2).Comment

Houston Astros -130
Colorado is playing like a team that threw in the towel as they are losers of the last 8. Houston is not a good baseball team, but they are still playing hard, which means a lot at the end of the season with nothing to play for. Look for Houston to get a nice home win. Take the Astros.Comment
