AL West Preview: Los Angeles Angels vs. Oakland Athletics

The American League playoff picture may not be officially confirmed as the dog days of August wage on, but the MLB betting board has certainly started to get predictable in terms of which teams will be playing into October.

In one division though, perhaps the only one with any form of intrigue remaining, the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels find themselves in competition for the AL West pennant and the resulting postseason berth that comes with it.

Starting this Friday, the Rangers - currently up - will host their division rivals looking to widen the gap that separates them. The loser, thanks to the dual dominance of Boston and New York in the East, will forfeit their chance at a title.

After winning the American League last year before falling to the San Francisco Giants in the World Series, the Rangers are the expected favorite on the MLB futures board with 10/1 odds.

The Angels sit considerably further back with 35/1 odds of winning the World Series. Though it won't be easy for them to claw their way back to the top of the AL West, the upcoming weekend series is as good a place as any to start.

If the squad can get behind revitalized ace Dan Haren and start knocking off some much needed victories starting this Friday at 8 PM EST, the Angels could temporarily be one of the most lucrative contenders in baseball.

Bettor Support vs. Experience on Display as Tigers Host Angels

The Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels are in similar positions at this point in the season, which makes their upcoming four-game set particularly significant when it comes to MLB betting.

Both franchises had lofty but reasonable expectations heading into the campaign and currently sit at or near the top of their respective divisions within striking distance of a spot in the postseason this fall.

The differences between the two stem from how much confidence oddsmakers seem to have in their ability to contend for the World Series.

According to Bodog?s online sportsbook, the Detroit Tigers have 20/1 odds of winning the World Series. The Angels sit behind at 35/1 odds on the MLB futures board, despite the fact that it has been they, and not the Tigers, who have made the postseason in six of the past nine seasons.

With division races still very much up for grabs in both the AL Central and AL West, the head-to-head match ups between the two clubs will go a long in helping the victors in their individual battles with the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers.

Considering that the AL East seems a lock to claim the wildcard berth in the American League, the hunt for the Central and West for divisions will only heat up.
