The Los Angeles Angels had a misstep this week but are far from out of the Wild Card race. Although dropping three of four games at home to the Oakland Athletics was certainly not ideal, the Angels bounced back for a 6-0 win in that series finale on Thursday's getaway day. Now they'll hope to carry a bit of momentum into a three-game weekend series against the Kansas City Royals at Kaufman Stadium.

The Royals will certainly not be pushovers, but will be a decent tune-up for a key series next week between the Halos and the Texas Rangers. Meanwhile, the A's will be hosting the red-hot Baltimore Orioles. This could be a key opportunity for Los Angeles to make something happen.
