Harden is trying to get into good form for the post-season, so even though this game means nothing he is sure to be looking to have a strong outing.
Moseley is nothing special.
Oakland is playing most of their top guys while the Angels are not.
Even though the game means nothing in the standings, after losing 3 in a row, Oakland will probably want to go to the playoffs off of a win, especially since Harden is going and they aren't being challenged much by the team the Angels are fielding.
Similar things happened with the Mets recently, where they clinched and had a stretch of games where they mailed it in, but then after losing a bunch in a row, decided they needed to shape up again. A blowout is more likely than usual, and all things considered, -130 for a win is a line with value.
