The Angels are still in the American League wild card race, and in order to make a serious run at the playoffs they need to offload some dead weight. As of now, the Yankees, Red Sox and Mariners are in pole position. The Angels need to pass the Rays, Rangers and Twins, while holding off the Royals and Guardians who are right on their heels (the Orioles are also 3.5 games back too). Based on their preseason predictions, run differential and the past decade of ineptitude, the Angels are the logical team to drop out of the race.
