Los Angeles Angels vs Oakland Athletics Game 1 5/14/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Los Angeles Angels will meet with the Oakland Athletics in Game 1 MLB action in Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, on Saturday, May 14, 2022, at 4:07 PM ET. The Los Angeles Angels had a solid start to the season, presently sitting in second place in the American League West.

The Angels are averaging 4.97 runs per game and hitting .248 as a club on offense. This is the third-highest team batting average and the third-highest run total per game.

They demonstrated that they can link hits together to produce huge innings. They also demonstrated that they have some real power sprinkled throughout their lineup.

The Angels are currently generating 1.38 home runs per game, which ranks them third in the league. Los Angeles has numerous players who can transform the game with a single swing of the bat.

The Angels think they can get a hit no matter where they are in the batting order because they have such a strong lineup. I also anticipate the Angels to continue to be aggressive on the base paths since they already stole 21 bases, the fifth most in Major League Baseball.

In this one, I’d keep an eye out for Mike Trout at the plate. He’s presently hitting .337 with 9 home runs to his credit. He is the Angels’ finest offensive player, and I anticipate him to continue to be aggressive at the plate in this game.

The total went OVER in 6 of LA Angels’ previous 9 matches.
The LA Angels are 4-1 SU in their previous 5 matches.
The LA Angels are 2-11 SU in their last 13 matches against Oakland.

Los Angeles Angels vs Oakland Athletics Game 1 Predictions 5/14/2022

The Oakland Athletics are still in contention despite a mediocre start to the 2017 regular season. They are presently in last place in the American League West but are only a couple of matches behind fourth place. To start the season, they’re batting .203 and scoring 3.52 runs per game.

This team has the 26th lowest per-game run total and the 29th lowest overall batting average. They aren’t making enough contact with the ball to make the opposition defense nervous.

They don’t have many players capable of hitting the ball out of the park. They should prioritize getting base hits before worrying about the long ball. I also anticipate the A’s remaining aggressive on the base paths.

They’ve stolen 21 bases so far this season, which is tied for sixth in the league. They’ll want to get their runners into scoring position as fast as possible, knowing that they are struggling to score recently. In this one, I’d keep an eye out for Sheldon Neuse at the plate. He is now hitting .291, which puts him in first place on the squad.

The total went UNDER in 7 of Oakland’s last 10 matches.
Oakland is 4-11 SU in their last 15 matches.
The total went UNDER in 8 of Oakland’s last 10 matches against the LA Angels.

Los Angeles Angels vs Oakland Athletics. The MLB pick for this game is the Oakland Athletics. In this encounter, I’ll be going with the home team. The Oakland Athletics enter this series having swept the Detroit Tigers in four of five matches.

Oakland also improved its defensive performance. They have a fantastic team WHIP rating of 1.21 and only permit 3.53 runs per game. They’ll hold the Angels off the bases and keep this match under the run line (+1.5).

This will be a low-scoring defensive fight, but the Angels will have to rely on their bullpen at some point since Michael Lorenzen struggled to start the season. The A’s will get many hits from him, allowing them to keep this game close at home. The Athletics will win to a predicted score of 4-3.
