Oakland at Los Angeles

As a small market team, the Oakland A's become competitive at times, but this is not one of them. They will finish a third straight season of under .500 baseball. This team had to dump a lot of their top players for prospects so they are going to take some time to be competitive again. The Angels have improved their playoff chances and are now 68-65 on the season. The Halos have picked a good time to play their best baseball of the season as they are 13-7 over their last 20 games and a serious Wild Card contender. They have won the first two in this series, and over their last 20 games, have out-scored opponents by 1.2 runs per game, getting timely hitting, and solid pitching. Take the LA Angels.
