Athletics vs. Angels Best MLB Bets, Expert Picks for August 4

4:07pm ET

Alex here, the cofounder of OddsJam, and I have some sharp & profitable betting picks for you! Let’s get into the sharpest of the sharp MLB picks for Thursday, August 4.

I’ll be giving out my top MLB picks & baseball plays in this preview. I’ll be going through my betting preview of the Oakland Athletics vs. Los Angeles Angels matchup on August 4, 2022. The first pitch is at 4:07pm ET.

Paul Blackburn is set to take the mound for Oakland A’s, and Janson Junk is scheduled for the Los Angeles Angels. Most money has come in on the LA Angels, with 62% of all betting volume coming in on them so far.

The total (e.g. over/under) is currently set at 8 runs and juiced towards the over. The over 8 is at -120 on DraftKings (e.g. DK sportsbook). The under is at +100 on DK sportsbook. Odds can move at any time, so make sure to use OddsJam to get the best betting line in your state. The concept of betting lines changing is referred to as line movement in sports betting.

Different states typically have various bookmakers available, so you could possibly get a better line than the odds on DK sportsbook. Better odds = more money if you win. My number one tip for sports bettors is to line shop and get the best price on all of your wagers.

I started OddsJam to help sports bettors find sharp, profitable bets on a daily basis. The Positive EV Sports Betting Software refreshes over one million odds each second to find the most profitable bets. Give it a go!

No bet locked for me so far on the total runs in the Athletics vs. Angels game on Thursday, 8/4/2022. The spread is set at 1.5, which is common. The Angels are the -1.5 run line favorites.

On the moneyline, the LA Angels are slightly favored for this game on Thursday against the Athletics. They are -115 odds on DraftKings. As predicted, the Athletics are the underdogs on 8/4, sitting at -105 odds on DraftKings. The Oakland A’s will aim to pull off an upset against the Angels on August 4, 2022.

As a reminder, all of the odds from this betting preview for the Oakland A’s vs. LA Angels game on Thursday were from DraftKings sportsbook. DraftKings is one of the most popular sportsbooks and my personal favorite. I think they have an easy to use, slick interface.  DraftKings is one of the biggest & most popular online bookmakers in Ontario and the U.S. They started off as a DFS company.

Official Pick: Bet on the LA Angels to get the W. Bet their moneyline for 1 unit.
