Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Oakland: Kendall Graveman (4-4, 4.24 ERA)<br />
Los Angeles: Parker Bridwell (7-2, 2.89 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Kendall Graveman goes for the A's tonight and in his last outing he was solid only giving up one earned run in seven innings in a 3-1 win over the Texas Rangers. The A's have won two of his last three starts and in that span he has given up five earned runs in 20 innings. Graveman has faced the Angels three times this season where Oakland has gone 2-1 and he gave up two earned runs in each of the three outings. In nine career starts against the Angels he is 2-2 with an ERA of 3.19. Oakland has lost Graveman’s last five road starts and they have lost five of his last six starts after a Quality Start in his previous outing.
</p>
<p>
Parker Bidwell gets the starting nod for the Angels and in his last outing he gave up two earned runs in seven innings, but got little run support in a 2-1 loss to the Houston Astros. The Halos had won his previous eight starts and in his last nine starts he has given up more than two earned runs only once. This is Bidwell’s first career start against the A's and at home this season he is 3-2 with an ERA of 3.56 while on the road he is 4-0 with an ERA of only 2.00. The Angels are 4-1 in Bidwell’s last five home starts and they are also 4-1 in his last five starts against a team with a winning record.
