The Angels put a dozen on the board by themselves on Saturday thanks to a pair of dingers by Kendry Morales. Look for another high-scoring game this afternoon.
Our Sunday afternoon MLB selection is on the Angels and A's to go 'over' the total at the Big A in Anaheim.
These two teams combined for 15 runs last night, a 12-3 Angels win, and I look for another high-scoring game on Sunday afternoon.

Kendry Morales banged two homers and drove in five to fuel the Halos attack. Bobby Abreu collected three singles and scored twice for Los Angeles who moved to an even .500, 11-11, at home this season.
This will be Trevor Cahill's fourth start of the season, while his mound opponent, Joel Pineiro, will be making his eighth start. Neither pitcher is in particularly good form.
Cahill's ERA this year is 4.59, with a mediocre WHIP of 1.40, while Pineiro's ERA over his last three starts is an awful 6.32, with a 1.78 WHIP. And, away from pitcher-friendly McAfee Coliseum, Cahill's ERA balloons to 6.75! Additionally,
Pineiro has not had much success vs. the A's (he's lost seven of his last eight), and his career ERA in his starts vs. Oakland is 4.87, with a WHIP of 1.53.
Look for this game to sail 'over' the total.
