My Prediction
Los Angeles Angels by 1Ah, isn't it just great to talk about a good old baseball match-up folks? We got the Los Angeles Angels flying in to play against the Atlanta Braves on their home turf, Truist Park. Can already taste the peanuts and cracker jacks.
Right from the starting pitch, things are looking a bit...interesting. We have on the mound for the Angels, Tyler Anderson. Not too shabby a season honestly. A decent 4.55 ERA and that 1.37 WHIP is nothing to scoff at. He's made 16 appearances, gets a decent number of bats to miss. Promising...
Leaning on the other side of the mound, for the Braves...well, we have Didier Fuentes. He’s still new blood, only made 2 appearances. I'll tell ya, folks, an 11.11 ERA and 1.85 WHIP is enough to make my mustache curl.
Now let's slide into the batters. The Angels got Jo Adell and that Trout fellow. Adell's batting average is .295 and Trout is just a hair shy at .292. But that Trout guy, we all know him, he's the one who swam upstream last season, so watch out, folks.
Slamming in for the Braves, we got Ronald Acuna Jr looking hotter than southern rocket sauce with a .370 batting average. Matt Olson is also doing his part with a .310 average. That lineup can pack a wallop, especially in their home field advantage.
Taking a walk down memory lane, we see the Braves seem to have an edge in past matchups. They took the W home four times from their last five dances with the Angels.
Now if we take a look at this season Records, it’s a tad tighter. The Angels have a slender lead at 41-42 against the Braves who are at 38-45. The most recent games also paint a mixed picture, both teams having their fair share of wins and losses.
All in all, even though it seems like I am flipping a nickel here, I must say this is leaning towards the Angels, purely based on starting pitchers, but some pretty serious weight from past performance and home field advantage is tugging towards the Braves too.
So, drumroll please...
