The Angels have won the season series with the Athletics each of the past five seasons. However, the last time these teams met in Oakland, the Athletics hung 38 runs on the Angels over three games. That was the most any team scored in a three-game span against an opponent last season.

The Angels finished 2018 with an 80-82 record, their third consecutive season under .500. Los Angeles had not finished three straight seasons with a losing record since 1992 through 1994. The Angels have a new manager at the helm, Brad Ausmus, for the first time since 2000 (Mike Scioscia's first season).

Oakland finished second in the American League West in 2018 despite winning 97 games, its most wins since 2002 (103). The Athletics opened their 2019 season in Japan, losing both games to the Mariners. Oakland has not lost its first three games of a season since 1996.

Trevor Cahill will be making his first start for the Angels on their Opening Day. He went 7-4 with a 3.76 ERA while pitching for Oakland in 2018. He was 5-1 with a 1.84 ERA and a .179 opponent batting average in 11 starts at the Oakland Coliseum last season.

Mike Fiers will be making his second start of the season after he took the loss in the Athletics' first game in Japan. Since being acquired on August 6 of last season, Fiers is 5-3 but has allowed 13 home runs in 56.0 innings (2.09 HR/9), the fifth-highest rate in the AL over that span (minimum 50 innings).

Mike Trout became the highest-paid player in MLB history over the offseason. He is coming off back-to-back seasons with a .400-plus OBP and a .600-plus slugging percentage, the first player to do so in consecutive seasons since Albert Pujols with the Cardinals in 2008-09 (minimum 400 plate appearances).

The visiting Los Angeles Angels hope to continue a recent opening-series trend when they seek a second straight win against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday night.
One day after opening the season with a 4-0 loss to the A's, the Angels got key late hits from Andrelton Simmons and Mike Trout while rallying from a 2-0 deficit to square the series with a 6-2 win on Friday night.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Back stateside and back on their home field, the Oakland Athletics starters have found quite a groove.
