The Oakland Athletics will play the Los Angeles Angels in Game 1 of their series at Angel Stadium on Tuesday night.

The Oakland Athletics are 39-65 this season and have won four of their last six games. Oakland is coming off of a series loss against the White Sox, where they lost two out of the three games played in the series. The Oakland pitching staff has a 4.26 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP, and a .246 opponent batting average this season. The Athletics offense has scored 355 runs with a .215 batting average and a .275 on base percentage. Seth Brown is batting .232 with 15 home runs and 44 RBI’s for the Athletics this season. The projected starter for Oakland is Cole Irvin, who is 6-7 with a 3.05 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP over 109.1 innings pitched this season.

The Los Angeles Angels are 43-59 this season and have lost three of their last four games. Los Angeles is coming off of a series loss against Texas, where they lost three out of the four games played in the series. The Los Angeles pitching staff has a 4.00 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, and a .236 opponent batting average. The Angels offense has scored 398 runs with a .229 batting average and a .300 on base percentage this year. Shohei Ohtani is batting .255 with 22 home runs and 62 RBI’s for the Angels this season. The projected starter for Los Angeles is Noah Syndergaard, who is 5-8 with a 3.83 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP over 80 innings pitched this season.

Oakland is 7-3 in their last 10 games and 5-11 in their last 16 road games. The under is 6-1 in Oakland’s last 7 road games. Los Angeles is 16-42 in their last 58 games and 1-7 in their last 8 Tuesday games. The under is 5-2 in Los Angeles’ last 7 games. The under is 11-3-2 in these two teams last 16 head to head meetings.

Both of these teams have been bad this season, but it is the Angels who have been the bigger disappointment. Los Angeles was supposed to contend this year and instead is 16 games below .500 and 23 games behind the Astros in the AL West. Los Angeles will start Noah Syndergaard, who has allowed nine runs over his last 21.2 innings pitched. For the Athletics, Cole Irvin has been very sharp over his last few starts and has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last five starts. I really like how Irvin has pitched lately and am taking the Athletics to win this game.
