The Los Angeles Angels come into thi game looking to add on to their series-opening win over the Braves last time out to sit at 6-5 on the year. After this series, the Angels will head on the road for a set against the Cincinnati Reds.
Nolan Schanuel has 9 hits with a double, a pair of homers and 7 RBIs while Mike Trout’s added 7 hits with a double, 2 home runs and 3 RBIs this season. Zach Neto’s also added 10 hits with 2 doubles, 4 homers and 6 RBIs and Jo Adell has 11 hits with a home run and 5 RBIs as well this season. Oswald Peraza has 7 hits with a double, a home run and two RBIs and Jorge Soler has 8 hits with a double, a home run and 8 RBIs well this season.
I’m on the Braves here. I know Yusei Kikuchi’s done well at home as a member of the Angels but the Braves have been solid against left-handed pitching as a unit and I think the Angels could be in some trouble here. I like Reynaldo Lopez in this Braves rotation, and I think the Braves have the better lineup from top to bottom. I think Atlanta gets some revenge here so give me Atlanta.
