Angels Team Form & Recent Results:

Los Angeles comes into this matchup on a one-game winning streak and has won three of their last five games prior to their last two games against Kansas City. In Tuesday’s game against Kansas City, the Angels defeated the Royals 5-1, with Jo Adell delivering an impressive performance at the plate. Adell collected three hits in four at-bats, including a home run. He also drove in two runs and scored once himself, playing a key role in the team’s victory. Adell has established himself as the Angels’ top power hitter this season, leading the club with 32 home runs. Right behind him in home run totals is Taylor Ward, who has belted 30 so far. Ward, however, stands out as the Angels’ top run producer, leading the team with 94 RBIs this year. When it comes to batting average, Nolan Schanuel holds the highest mark among Angels hitters, currently batting .266 for the season. Despite having some strong individual performances, the Angels' offense has been relatively quiet lately, averaging only 3 runs per game over their last five contests. Overall this season, Los Angeles averages 4.3 runs per game, and they’ll be looking to boost their scoring.

Athletics Team Form & Recent Results:

Sacramento enters this game on a one-game losing streak and has dropped four of their last five games prior to their series finale against St. Louis. During Tuesday’s 2-1 defeat against St. Louis, Athletics pitcher Luis Severino delivered a solid performance, tossing five innings in which he gave up just three hits and no earned runs. He walked one batter and struck out four over his outing. Offensively, Shea Langeliers has powered Sacramento’s lineup this season, leading the team with 29 home runs. Close behind him are Nick Kurtz and Brent Rooker, who share second place on the team with 27 homers each. When it comes to driving in runs, Tyler Soderstrom stands out as Sacramento’s RBI leader, having collected 81 RBIs so far this year. Jacob Wilson has been Sacramento’s most consistent hitter at the plate, boasting a team-high .315 batting average. However, pitching has been a concern for Sacramento recently, as they’ve surrendered an average of 5.6 runs per game over their last five games.
