Here we are - finally at opening day (unless you count MLB’s publicity stunt in Japan last week which screwed with everyone’s head). So the A’s are actually 2 games into the season and the Angels haven’t even played a game but are ahead of them in the standings.
Last year, the surprise A’s won 97 games, finishing 17 total games in front of the 4th place Angels. But this time will be different, right? The good news is that despite the A’s looking like (on paper at least) a better team than the Angels last year - the Angels actually beat the A’s 10 games to 9 in the season series.
