2021 Series Preview: Los Angeles Angels @ Houston Astros

So far this season the Angels are fulfilling their preseason role as dark horse candidate to take the division. Though still early, it seems as though their offense is finally living up to its full potential with a healthy Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani anchoring them. Ohtani is also continuing to make dreams come true as a two-way player, though his starts have been limited so far in 2021.

But the story hasn’t really changed when it comes to the Angels’ starting rotation, which has been the biggest problem for them in recent memory. While it’s not the worst in the league, Anaheim’s starters have given up a collective 44 earned runs in 79 innings of work, which is good for a 5.
