<b>Set-up </b>
</p>
<p>
In their last game, the Angels snapped their three-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners the Angels scored four runs on seven hits and the A’s scored three runs and also had seven hits.
</p>
<p>
The Angels are out of the playoff race, and they can play spoiler for the rest of the season and hope to finish above .500. The Halos are two games under .500, and they were outscored 19-7 in their three-game losing streak before beating Seattle in their last game.
</p>
<p>
In their last game, the A's lost their 2nd in a row falling to the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4. Oakland’s Khris Davis hit a grand slam HR in the 9th inning, but the A's still came up short. The A's scored four runs on four hits, and the Rays scored five runs on nine hits.
</p>
<p>
The A's followed up a six-game winning streak by losing three of their last four games. They are still in the AL West race four games back of the Houston Astros, and they hold the 2nd AL Wild Card spot with a pretty comfortable 6.5 game lead over the Rays and are 1.5 games back of the New York Yankees.
</p>
<p>
This season the Angels rank tied for 14th in runs scored and 14th in team ERA and the A’s rank 6th in runs scored and 8th in team ERA.
</p>
<p>
<b>Head-To-Head </b>

Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>L.A.: </b>Tyler Skaggs (8-8 3.78 ERA)<br />
<b>Oakland:</b> Liam Hendriks (0-1 5.60 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
Skaggs was recently activated from the DL and has not appeared in a game since August 11th. His last start was not a good one, and it came facing Oakland no less, as he gave up seven earned runs on 10 hits in only three 1/3 innings in a 7-0 L.A. loss. To say Skaggs had struggled in his last two starts before going on the DL with a groin issue would be an understatement, giving up 17 earned runs in only six 2/3 innings. The Angels won Skaggs first two starts of the season against the A's where he pitched well before being lit up facing them in his last outing.
</p>
<p>
Skaggs has given up four HR in his last two starts, and he had a solid ERA of 2.62 before getting shelled in his previous two outings. The Angels are 2-5 in Skaggs previous seven starts against the A's. While the Angels are 1-4 in his last five starts against a team with a winning record they are 6-2 in his previous eight road starts facing a team above .500.
</p>
<p>
Oakland has used the bullpen starting approach this season, and Hendriks will be making a start for the 6th time in his last seven appearances. In his previous five appearances, he has gone one inning in each one and has not given up any earned runs. In four appearances against the Angels, this season Hendriks has given up one earned run in two 2/3 innings.
