Los Angeles Angels Recap

The Los Angeles Angels fell short in Friday’s opener, adding to the inconsistencies this Halos team has had out of the gate and while struggles were probably to be expected, we can really see what not having Shohei Ohtani has done to this lineup and putting up 5 hits in the loss to the Twins was proof of that.

Minnesota Twins vs LA Angels prediction

I’m going to roll with the Angels here. I think this is the best shot for the Angels to win a game for the rest of this series as Chris Paddack’s been more than hittable and it’s going to take more than one good start against the White Sox to convince me of that. Soriano has pitched fairly well this season in a limited starter’s capacity, and I think the Twins can do enough at the plate to get to him early and often and do enough on the mound to ride it out and get a much-needed win. Give me the Halos in this one.
