Athletics vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/16/25, 6:25 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/17/25 at 1:00 AM in MLB Picks

The final MLB game of Saturday's schedule will be played between the Athletics and Angels in Sacramento.

Up until Friday's game, the Angels had won their first seven games of 2025 against the Athletics, four of them as underdogs. Finally, the Angels were able to take their first game against the Angels on Friday, doing so by a score of 10-3 via home runs. Langeliers hit his 25th home run of the year, Thomas his second of the season with Kurtz and Rooker on base, and Kurtz himself, a near-perfect Rookie of the Year, drove in the Athletics' final three runs with his 24th home run.

Although Neto homered for the Angels, it was insufficient due to Kikuchi's poor outing. On Saturday, the Angels will face Tyler Anderson, who has a 2-7 record. Anderson didn't fare well against the Athletics in the previous series in Sacramento; He pitched 4.2 innings that day, allowing 7 hits, allowing one home run, and allowing 5 earned runs in a game the Angels still won 10-5.
