LAA vs OA Dream11 Prediction | MLB, Major League Baseball | Los Angeles Angels vs Oakland Athletics, 2 August

LAA vs OA Dream11 Match Prediction: Japanese sensation Shohei Ohtani slugged a double to right-centre in the bottom of the third inning and Matt Thaiss sprinted towards the home base to score the one and only run as the Los Angeles Angels beat Oakland Athletics 1-0 on Saturday. That one precious run also ended Angeles’ unwanted run of 29 consecutive scoreless innings against the Athletics.
Ohtani, who is one of the most versatile baseball players as he can play as a designated hitter, and pitcher, has now 82 RBI this season, only one behind Toronto Blue Jays‘ hot-shot Vladimir Guerrero.
Ohtani didn’t pitch against the Athletics, but Jaime Barria took responsibility and delivered a flawless display, allowing only four hits and managing 3 strike-outs in 6.2 innings.
Cole Irvin also had a magnificent performance for the Athletics as he had 6 strike-outs in 6.1 innings, but that one run was the difference in the end. The final encounter of this four-game series will be played at Angel Stadium on late Sunday night (IST).
