Pitching matchups and offensive inconsistencies are key factors influencing the game outcome.
Key Factors to Consider
- Athletics have a 54-69 record with a 24-36 home record, averaging about 4.48 runs per game but conceding over 5 runs. The Angels are 59-63 with a .233 batting average, a 4.67 ERA pitching staff, and have been more consistent recently, riding a three-game winning streak.
- Historically, Athletics lead with 155 wins in matchups against the Angels' 132, including 85 home wins. Their last meeting on June 11 saw the Angels win 8-6. Both teams tend to produce moderately high-scoring games with the home team averaging 4.69 runs and visitors 4.16.
- No major injuries reported for starters or key bullpen arms impacting the game. Both teams are relatively healthy, but the Athletics bullpen remains a liability overall.
- Game played at Athletics' home park (Sutter Health Park), favorable to them. Late summer conditions typically favor offensive production. Anderson, Angels' starter, has struggled on road with a high ERA of 5.52 away from home.
