Athletics Vs. Angels Series Preview: TV Schedule, Probable Pitchers & More

The Oakland Athletics and the Los Angeles Angels are on a collision course. The American League West rivals will kick off a three-game series on Monday that may have deep playoff repercussions as the A's try to keep pace in the division and stay on top in the Wild Card standings.

Oakland has won nine straight games and have been firing on all cylinders. What's more, they'll have three of their strongest pitchers going up against the Angels while at the same time missing Jered Weaver in the rotation. It's possible the A's could distance themselves from the Angels while playing a bit of a spoiler as well.
