The Edge
Civale's dominant 2.70 ERA against a struggling Angels lineup and starter, combined with the Athletics' elite road ATS record and across-the-board team quality edges, makes Athletics ML a credible PICK at a reasonable -125 price.

Team ERA edge: Athletics 4.31 vs Angels 5.00, with Athletics also holding a superior team OPS (.732 vs .686) and BA (.252 vs .225)
