In 24.2 IP against the A's last season, Shohei Ohtani had a 1.09 ERA. Hopefully, Ohtani plays off the momentum from his WBC performance and keeps Oakland down. I am a little concerned with how Kyle Muller will do, but the Angels don't hit lefties very well, so any damage would likely be minimal. We saw these teams play 19 times last season, and only five games went over. Think about making a small play on the under tonight.

Shohei Ohtani is already pitching at a top level as we saw in the World Baseball Classic. Ohtani only allowed five runs in his last seven starts last season as the Angels went 6-1. The Angels won nine of their last 14 games against the A's. Kyle Muller will make his A's debut today. He only started in three games last year but posted an 8.03 ERA. The Angels lineup should be able to put up enough runs to win by multiple runs.

The Athletics are in for a long season. They don’t have much to get excited about on their roster, either on the hitting or pitching side of things. They face a tall order in their opener with the Angels starting Shohei Ohtani. The Athletics will start Kyle Muller, who has a 5.14 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP across 49 career innings. Look for the Angels to start off their season with a convincing victory.
