Money Line: 104.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Win
*Pick and write up made prior to the ending of Tuesday's matchup

I like the value we get on the Oakland Athletics with Chris Bassitt (1-0, 1.08 ERA) on the mound. The 31-year-old right-hander has allowed no more than one run in his previous three starts on the season with Oakland winning each game. That includes four shutout innings in a 3-0 win against the Halos in his season debut.

The Angels hand the ball to Griffin Canning (0-2, 3.14 ERA) who took the loss in that contest after giving up three runs on four hits through 4 2/3 frames. With 10 walks allowed through 14 innings on the season, it would be an understatement to say that Canning has struggled with his command. Last time out, he gave up four runs on three hits and six walks in 3 2/3 innings against Texas.

10* play on Oakland Athletics.
