Prediction

Despite both teams struggling, the Angels have some positive trends they can hang their hat one. They've won their last three games as underdogs following a loss and have consistently covered the run line in such situations. Given the uncertain nature of the pitching duel between Samuel Aldegheri and Gerson Garabito, this might be a tighter contest.

More

• Jack Kochanowicz's five consecutive quality starts mark the first time an Angels starting pitcher has done that since Shohei Ohtani in 2021.

• Angels relievers have a major-league leading 2.65 ERA since June 17.

• Taylor Ward's 14-game hitting streak came to an end Thursday.
