The Athletics (22-27, 8-16 Home) are on an eight-game losing skid, their longest negative streak of the year. The A’s lost four consecutive series to the Mariners, Yankees, Dodgers, and were swept by the Giants.We can add another series loss following three defeats in the opening three games of the current series against the Angels.

Athletics vs Angels Prediction

The teams have traded wins in the last couple of years, each recording five in the previous ten H2H duels. The Angels won the last four, while seven of the previous ten H2Hs went Over. That was also the case in seven of Los Angeles’ last ten games, which also occurred in seven of the Athletics’ past ten games. I am going with another Over here, even though I think Anderson and Severino are solid pitchers and will fare well in this one. However, the respective bullpens are two of the three worst in the MLB, so I expect a lot of runs late on. Go with Over.
