The Los Angeles Angels are 52-55 with two months until October. They’re four games back from a Wild Card spot. They have a large hill to climb in order to gain games on American league teams like the Yankees and Royals. However, If pitchers like Ricky Nolasco continue to perform well, they might have a chance.
The Angels opened the month of August against the Phillies at home. Nolasco pitched six innings giving up one run. He also recorded five strikeouts. Nolasco has struggled to keep his ERA under 5.00 throughout this season. However, most Angels fans would agree that he is a better pitcher than his numbers would indicate.
