Los Angeles Angels vs Oakland Athletics Prediction: The A’s to avoid a sweep defeat

In the finale of a three-game series, the Oakland Athletics will play the Los Angeles Angels. The Angles have the edge after the first two games. How will this finale end?

The Los Angeles Angels will be confident of securing a sweep in this game after incredible performances in their first two games of this series. In the opener, this team secured a 5-1 win, and in game 2, they secured a two-run win in a 7-5 encounter. However, the prior series to this did not end well for the Los Angeles Angels as they lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers, with their most recent win being against the San Francisco Giants. Going into this finale, the Los Angeles Angels have a 32-46 record and are seated 4th in the American League West Division standings.

Oakland Athletics have a lot to prove here, and in this game, they will look to step up. In the first two games of this series, the Oakland Athletics scored six runs while conceding 12. However, the Oakland Athletics have lost more series of their last series compared to their wins. In that run, the Oakland Athletics lost to the Minnesota Twins in two different series, the San Diego Padres, Toronto Blue Jays, Atlanta Braves, Tampa Bay Rays, and the Houston Astros. Heading into this series, the Oakland Athletics have a 29-53 record and are seated 14th in the American League standings. 

The Oakland Athletics have not impressed lately, and there are a lot of things to improve on. However, looking at the Los Angeles Angels side, I see that they have not impressed so much either, and I do not see them completing a sweep here. This should be a tight one, and looking at the pitching lineups here, I am on the A’s to win this finale.
