Los Angeles Angels Searching for Much Needed Win Against Yankees After Slipping Up Against Astros
The Los Angeles Angels have been striving to gain ground in the AL West standings, but they slipped up after dropping two of three games to the Astros. Focusing on a win against the Yankees, the Angels could gain the second of three victories and bring their record level to .500. With an average of 4.96 runs per game, their batting average stands at .258 which is tenth in the league, and their on-base and slugging percentages are placed sixth and fifth in the league respectively. Shohei Ohtani has been power hitter of the team, having recorded a .301 batting average, 34 home runs, and 73 RBIs.
