Despite that the LA Angels have finished the first month of the season just 3 games back from first place. If the Angels can follow-up their 3 game sweep of the Blue Jays with a two game rout of the Houston Astros they will be setting themselves up for a highly competitive May.
The Angels have been looking better and better as the season rolls on. It may be minor improvement after minor improvement, but after weeks of time we’ve seen these upgrades stack up to create a much better team than we saw at seasons beginning.
The starting pitching is rounding itself out into a more palatable form, with a little more consistency Tyler Skaggs can provide a much-needed source of leadership in the rotation.
