lines

Angels +105
Athletics -115

The normally effective Chavez takes the hill and hopefully he can get some run support to win the rubber match.  Roboter (7-7) says Angels win 3-1.

lineup

Same lineup pretty much, although Vogt gets a day off and Canha returns to the lineup in place of Gentry.

3-6 (LOSS)

The up and down Athletics could not recover from the early deficit this time and drop this one.  On the positive side, Bassitt looked really good in late inning relief.  Let's hope he makes his way into a better role soon as maybe even a starter?
