Oakland at Los Angeles

The Oakland A's have won the AL West two straight years, and certainly look to be heading for a third title as they own the best record in the American League at 39-24. The A's have been quite comfortable on the road where they own a 22-12 record on the season. Oakland has certainly had the edge vs. the Halos as they have taken five of the six meetings this season, and are coming off an 11-1 win yesterday, so this team is feeling pretty good. Jesse Chavez has been solid all season as he enters with a 5-3 record and 3.04 ERA on the season. Oakland has hammered Garrett Richards to the tune of a 6.49 ERA in his 10 appearances against them. The A's are taking control in anticipated low-scoring games at 21-5 in their last 26 to a total of 7 to 8.5. Play on Oakland.
