Fresh off taking two of three from the Atlanta Braves — an East division team off to a bad start trying to get things together — the Red Sox return home to welcome the Los Angeles Angels.
Los Angeles has had a few rough years with without Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout playing in tandem and 2025 looked to be more of the same. A 9-16 April seemed right in line with the low expectations. But then the team came back with a 14-14 May. A loss on June 1 left them at 26-32, fourth place in the AL West.
