Angels at Athletics Prediction July 17/2018

Angels starter Andrew Heaney has been roughed up in two of his last three both on the road and brings a dismal 5.68 road ERA this season into the game. He did pitch well in his previous two road starts holding the Yankees and the Rockies to a combined three runs on nine hits over 12 1/3 innings, and he does have a 40% QS ratio away from home. Another metric that is in Heaney's favor is his back number versus Oakland's projected line-up holding seven batters to a combined .120 BA. The A's starter Daniel Mengden was pitching exceptionally well in May putting five quality starts together, but the wheels have fallen off since getting lit up for 12v runs in 8 2/3 innings tossed. His career numbers are poor versus today's forecasted line-up with the Angels hitters averaging .296 in 27 at bats. I'm going to bank on Heaney getting back to form in this one and having his way with the strike-out prone Athletics.
