Lower wall at Angel Stadium will boost HRs

You can expect to see a nice increase in home runs in Anaheim in 2018, and it's not just because the Angels have added Shohei Ohtani, Ian Kinsler and Zack Cozart to Mike Trout, Justin Upton and Albert Pujols. It's because Angel Stadium is simply different than it was. It's now easier than ever to go deep at the Big A.

That's due to last week's announcement that the team would be lowering the height of the home run boundary in right field by 10 feet, cutting it by more than half from the previous 18 feet.
