It’s comforting to be in the presence of another struggling team. The Angels aren’t quite as bad as our Orioles. They did just take two of three from the Blue Jays, and they have two more wins than the incoming O’s. At the same time, no one will be confusing them for a playoff contender, even in the mediocre American League.
The Angels offense stinks. Their .650 OPS is 26th in baseball, and they have scored just one more run than the Orioles this season in the same number of games. They can hit some home runs. Their 51 long balls are the fourth-most in MLB.
