The Los Angeles Angels will be hitting balls against the Oakland Athletics at RingCentral Coliseum in Oakland, California on Friday, July 24, 2020 at 10:10 PM ET. The Angels, coming fresh from the tragedy and disappointment at the end of 2019 season, will be looking to rebound in this shortened season. Oakland came into this 2020 season with the hope to stay in the course after finishing last year’s season with 97 wins.

The Los Angeles Angels finished the last season with a 72-90 win-loss record, giving them their 4th straight losing season. The Angels have a formidable one-two punch in their line-up this season. Reigning AL MVP Mike Trout, who just came off from his third MVP award, will be hitting hard for the team. Following the home running spree is Anthony Rendon, who was plucked away from the Nationals with a $245 million value for seven years. Adding muscles to fill the empty bases this season are Shohei Ohtani, Andrelton Simmons, Albert Pujols and Justin Upton. For the pitching power, the team has no standout ace but many are expecting big from Andrew Heaney. While the likes of Ohtani, Griffin Canning and company will be tasked to compose the starting group to contend in the competitive AL West. Heaney is expected to lead the way after going 4-6 with a 4.91 ERA and 118 strike-out last season. Heaney recorded 2-2 with a 3.99 ERA and 43 strike-outs against Oakland.

Los Angeles Angels vs Oakland Athletics Predictions 7/24/2020

The Oakland Athletics, with the impression of not having a line-up consistency over the years, will be playing with the usual batters. The A’s line-up includes the power group of Matt Olson, Marcus Semien and Matt Chapman who all had 30+ home runs and 90+ RBIs last season. Joining them in the roster are Khris Davis, Stephen Piscotty and Ramon Laureano. The big question mark for Oakland is if their old standouts stay healthy as before. The rest of the rotation will be composed of front-runners, AJ Punk and Jesus Luzardo, while long guys like Chris Bassitt and Daniel Gossett will be starting at some point throughout the season.

The Angels’ poor finish last season resulted in the replacement of Brad Ausmus’ duties as manager with Joe Maddon, who had just been released by the Chicago Cubs after missing the playoffs for the first time in five years as Chicago’s bench boss. On the other hand, the Oakland Athletics’ stay in the postseason was short-lived as Oakland finished getting eliminated in the wild card game.
