The Astros arrive in Anaheim to face an Angels team that has seemingly surrendered the season already. After running neck and neck with the Astros all the way through May, the Angels have been in an absolute freefall, sliding all the way down to 4th in the division. This must feel devastating to Angels fans, who were treated to a lot of speculation over the ending of their playoff drought just a month ago.
Of course, dreams of October are now on life support for the Angels. Not only that, but it’s the same old story that seems to plague them every season: Offense reliant team that can’t get its act together on pitching across all 9 innings.
