The LA Angels are forever going to be the LA Angels, a disappointing team that finds creative ways to lose. Jose Soriano has also been rocked through 14 home innings this season. The price is more than reasonable considering the Guardians are the most profitable team in baseball. Give me the Guardians to stay hot.
