The Angels' pitching staff has also faced difficulties, with an earned run average of over 5 in recent outings. Despite these challenges, there have been bright spots such as their bullpen's ability to maintain composure under pressure with a lower ERA compared to starters.


Key Matchup Insights


As they prepare for the Giants, the Angels will need to focus on tightening their defense and finding consistency in hitting. The team’s batting average has hovered around .167 in recent games, which is below expectations for a team looking to compete at higher levels.
