 Oakland has a 17-9 edge in this series since the start of last season, though the Angels won two of three games when they last met from August 10-12 in Anaheim.

 Oakland's 18-8 record is the best in the American League, and the best 26-game start by the franchise since being 20-6 in 1990 -- a year the A's would go on to win the third of three straight AL pennants.

 Los Angeles has dropped seven of its last eight games, allowing six or more runs in all eight games (7.5 per game). That's the longest streak in team history of allowing six or more runs, surpassing a seven-gamer in April 2003.

 Through 12 games this year, Anthony Rendon was batting .103 (4/39) with one home run, four RBI and a .569 OPS. In 10 games since then starting with an August 10 meeting with the A's, Rendon is batting .486 (18/37) with five homers, 11 RBI and a 1.531 OPS.

 Matt Olson (9) and Matt Chapman (8) are one of two MLB teammate duos with at least eight home runs apiece this year, along with the Yankees' Luke Voit (10) and Aaron Judge (9). They both went deep -- including two homers by Chapman -- in yesterday's 5-1 win over Arizona, accounting for all five runs.

 Since joining the A's in August 2018, Mike Fiers has gone 22-7 with a 4.07 ERA. Since the franchise moved to Oakland in 1968, the only pitchers to win at least as many games through their first 30 decisions with the A's are Vida Blue (25-5) and Tim Hudson (24-6).

Andrew Heaney will be on the mound to start for the Los Angeles Angels Friday night in the series opener against the Athletics in Oakland, taking a "glass is half-full" mentality into the game.
Heaney (1-1, 4.74 ERA) was the Angels starter on Opening Day but things have not gone well for the left-hander or the club in his starts. The Angels are 1-4 in Heaney's five starts, including a 6-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers his most recent time out.

Angels' Heaney looks to shut down league-leading A's

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  The Oakland Athletics love to swing their way to early leads, and then pile up more runs whenever they can.
Marcus Semien homered to give Mike Fiers a quick cushion, Stephen Piscotty drove in all three of his runs with two outs, and the AL-best A's beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-3 on Friday night to run their home winning streak to nine games.
