Angels vs. Athletics Prop Bets Today – August 9, 2022: Target NRFI for Low-Scoring Matchup

Angels vs. Athletics Betting Odds

9:40 p.m. ET

Tonight we get a rematch between James Kaprielian and Shohei Ohtani. This game has a slate-low Vegas implied total of 6.5 runs and is a prime spot for no run first inning bets.

The last time these two faced off, no run was scored in the first. 

Kaprielian has only allowed a first-inning run once in his last seven starts. Ohtani has been great on the mound as well.

Both teams struggle to score, ranking bottom five in the league in runs per game, hits per game and batting average.

Oakland is horrendous at home, with a record of 17-36. The absence of Mike Trout takes away a massive first-inning threat for L.A., and with Ohtani pitching, he will have some energy burnt before his first plate appearance.

I love this matchup and we cashed on this bet the last time they faced off. It’s a must to run it back.
