This is a Free #MLB play on the #LAA.

I have to say I found it a little shocking when the Giants let go of two time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum. The Freak suffered through control problems the last few years, but he's still just 32 years old. He only pitched 15 games in 2015, but his numbers weren't bad at all (7-4 with a 4.13 ERA).

I thought is was shrewd move for the Angels to give the veteran another shot, and it looked even better when he allowed just one run on four hits over six innings in his season debut at Oakland. He'll face the A's again just five days later, and this looks like a great spot to back the Halos at home.

Kendall Graveman will toe the slab for Oakland, and he has struggled this season. Graveman (2-6, 4.87 ERA) allowed one run on three hits over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Angels his last time out. That was at home in Oakland, and he's just 1-3 with a 7.03 ERA in seven starts on the road this season. He better keep an eye on Albert Pujols, who is 5-for-10 with a home run in previous meetings.

Oakland ranks dead last in the American League in runs scored.

Take LAA.
