THE HOT CORNER

Today's best bet: LOS ANGELES ANGELS (-140) over Oakland Athletics

u25B6 It's up to ace right-hander Jered Weaver to stop the Angels' four-game losing streak. Weaver, who won the season opener against Minnesota, allowed two earned runs over 17 innings in his past three starts against the A's. Torii Hunter, Kendry Morales and the Angels' slumping offense should be able to hit Ben Sheets, who was not sharp in his first start for Oakland.
