Angels Analysis: They scored just 1 run in their last game
Fans of the Los Angeles Angels were aware that Shohei Ohtani would not be playing for them this season, but Mike Trout’s recent passing will further strain the team. According to reports, Trout may need up to three months to recover from knee surgery, which would take up a significant amount of the season. After losing their last two games to the Guardians by a combined total of just two runs, the Angels will need to find fresh offensive solutions. In the AL West, the Angels are tied with Houston for last place, seven games behind the front-running Mariners. With Trout out, left fielder Taylor Ward has emerged as the team’s best power hitter. Batting third in the lineup, he leads the team with 24 RBIs and has blasted seven home runs this season.
Pirates Analysis: Currently on a 2-game winning run
The Pittsburgh Pirates need to find a way to win more games since they have been playing a respectable game all season. The Pirates have been hitting horribly; thus far, they have averaged 3.6 runs per game with a slash line of .225/.308/.334. Though they are tied for 26th place with the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals in terms of team steals (15), the young team is not swiping bases. First baseman Connor Joe has been batting quite well, with a .832 OPS, three home runs, fourteen RBI, nineteen runs scored, and two stolen bases that have not been caught.
