The Angels left-hander allowed four runs in six innings in the loss to Braden and Athletics last month, and is 9-4 with a 4.13 ERA against Oakland.
After losing seven games in each of his last two seasons, Saunders now looks to avoid his fourth straight defeat. He gave up three runs - one earned - in 5 2-3 innings of a 4-3, 10-inning win over Seattle on Saturday.
“I think Joe definitely took a step forward,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
The Angels look to bounce back after losing the final two of a three-game home set with Tampa Bay this week. Los Angeles, which has won five of the last six AL West titles, is a disappointing 9-11 at home in 2010.
