The LA Angels have dropped eight of their last 10 games. Here they'll face an Oakland team battling to stay in the American League wild card race, and the A's must be desperate for a win after closing out last week with back-to-back losses to the Yankees.

Oakland righty Mike Fiers (13-3, 3.40 ERA) has been on fire for quite some time now, boasting an undefeated 11-0 record with 2.41 ERA through his last 20 starts. Fiers has had plenty of success against the Halos this season (3-0, 1.93 ERA in three starts) and we can note that the Halos are 2-6 in their last 8 road games vs. a right-handed starter.

As for LAA starter Jaime Barria (4-7, 6.10 ERA), the 23-year-old right-hander is 0-4 with a 5.25 ERA in his last five appearances and note that the A's are 22-8 in their last 30 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

Both teams had Monday off, and while the Athletics are 8-2 in their last 10 games following an off day the Angels are just 1-4 in their last 5 games in the same situation.

8* play on Oakland Athletics.
