Team Analysis

Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels are showing some signs of life on the road, despite their less than stellar overall record. They have been able to find their rhythm at key times and have delivered standout moments which have resulted in wins. The contributions from key standouts like Taylor Ward and Jo Adell have been instrumental in these victories.

However, their inconsistency has been their downfall. They have struggled to maintain their form over a series of games, which has led to a balanced road record. They will need to bring their A-game against the Tigers if they are to come out on top.
