The LA Angels are coming off of a huge series win against one of the top American League teams in the Chicago White Sox. They took the last two games of the series, and are now sitting at 72-74 on the season.
The playoffs are out of sight if we’re being honest, especially with some Mike Trout news that makes it appear that he’s running out of time to return to the field. We can still gain respect around the league, however, by winning games here at the end and proving to be competitive despite the injuries we’ve faced this year.
