The Los Angeles Angels are gearing up to host the Milwaukee Brewers in a highly anticipated three-game series, marking their first encounter this season.
The Angels, with a 28-43 general record and 11-23 home record, are eager to turn their season around. Despite their struggles, they have shown promise in games where they score five or more runs, boasting an 18-11 record in such contests.
The Brewers, 42-29 final and 20-17 on the road, bring a formidable pitching team to the table, with a National League third-ranked ERA of 3.72. Their strong pitching has been a key factor in their success this season.
Key players to watch include Jo Adell, who has been a bright spot for the Angels with 18 extra-base hits, including five doubles, a triple, and 12 home runs. Zachary Neto has also been on a tear, going 9-for-36 with three doubles, three home runs, and eight RBI over his last 10 games.
On the Brewers’ side, Brice Turang has been a consistent force, with 13 doubles, a triple, three home runs, and 24 RBI. Willy Adames has also contributed seriously to the Brewers’ offense, hitting three home runs in his last 10 games.
Both teams have players on the injured list, including the Angels’ Mike Trout and the Brewers’ Brandon Woodruff. Despite these setbacks, both teams are expected to bring their A-game to the series. The Angels will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage, while the Brewers aim to maintain their strong form on the road.
This series promises to be an exciting matchup between two teams with different strengths and weaknesses. Will the Angels’ offense come alive and take advantage of their home field, or will the Brewers’ pitching prowess prove too much for them to handle? Fans can tune in to find out.
