The Oakland A’s have had a tough season thus far, posting the worst record in the American League, but have had recent success in Cole Irvin’s starts and will turn to him at home on Monday against the Los Angeles Angels.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Oakland Athletics (-125, 7)

Irvin has done his best work in Oakland this season, posting a 1.73 ERA with just one home run allowed across 62 ¹⁄₃ innings in 10 home starts.

The Angels will counter with Jose Suarez, who has done his best work out of the bullpen, posting a career 5.86 ERA and 9-19 record as a starter along with 1.7 home runs and 3.9 walks per nine innings compared to a 3.75 ERA out of the bullpen with 3.2 walks per nine innings.
