The Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels meet Sunday in MLB action at Angel Stadium. The Athletics need a win after losing five of their last eight games. The Angels look for a win after splitting their last six games.

The Oakland Athletics have scored six runs in their last three games and three or less runs in four of their last eight games. The Athletics have lost five of their last six games when scoring three or less runs. Matt Olson leads the Athletics with 100 hits and 67 RBI while Jed Lowrie and Elvis Andrus have combined for 174 hits and 75 RBI. James Kaprielian gets the ball, and he is 5-4 with a 3.24 ERA and 79 strikeouts this season. Kaprielian is 1-0 with a 1.54 ERA and 16 strikeouts in his career against the Angels.

The Los Angeles Angels have scored one run in their last three games and three or less runs in four of their last five games. The Angels have lost five of their last eight games when scoring three or less runs. David Fletcher leads the Angels with 120 hits and 38 RBI while Shohei Ohtani and Jared Walsh have combined for 194 hits and 148 RBI. Reid Detmers will make his major league debut when he gets the ball tonight. Detmers was 3-4 with a 3.15 ERA and 106 strikeouts in his minor league career.

The Athletics are 3-7 in their last 10 Sunday games. The Angels are 15-7 in their last 22 games as a favorite and 4-1 in their last 5 Sunday games. The under is 9-3 in Athletics last 12 overall. The under is 8-3 in Angels last 11 overall. The Athletics are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Los Angeles.

The A’s aren’t playing great this week, but it feels like they’re due for a bounce back performance. The Angels have also scored a combined one run in their last three games. The Angels are also throwing out a pitcher in Reid Detmers, who is making his major league debut. No matter how talented Detmers may be, it’s his first start. We have little idea what to expect. Give me the A’s and the plus money.
