</div> <p> <strong>Moneyline:</strong> The Angels (+153) are moderate 'dogs, and that's because Fiers has been on fire for the <strong>Athletics (-168)</strong>. Roll with the A's at home.</p> <p> <strong>Run line:</strong> The Angels (+1.5, -125) should be avoided, as Barria just hasn't been terribly consistent. The A's are a better value ( <strong>-1.5, +105)</strong> behind the red-hot Fiers, and they're 9-4 in the past 13 vs. RHPs, too.</p> <p> <strong>Over/under:</strong> The <strong>UNDER</strong> ( <strong>8.5, -115)</strong> is 7-2 in Barria's past nine outings, and 10-3-1 in Fiers' last 14 starts.
