The Oakland A’s open a four-game series with the Los Angeles Angels. The Athletics have gone 5-4 against the Angels so far this season. Oakland has scored 38 runs in its first five games since the All-Star break.In game one of the series between the Oakland Athletics and the Los Angeles Angels. The Athletics will go with Ross Stripling on the mound. In 11 starts he is 1-9 with a 5.82 ERA. The Los Angeles Angels will counter with Kenny Rosenberg on the mound. He has pitched twice this season, posting a 6.30 ERA in 10 innings pitched. He is 2-2 this season with a 4.36 ERA in 12 starts. Neither pitcher is outstanding so I will look at the offenses. Since the break, the A’s offense has been more explosive so I am taking the A’s to win game 1.
