Explosive Offenses Set to Ignite in Showdown Between Angels and Mets Tonight

The Angels are having a better season than they have had in recent years. They are still under .500 and they currently reside in fourth place of the division, but it is still going better than the past couple of seasons. I actually think they have some good pieces, but probably not enough to make a run this season at the division, and likely not one to even have a legitimate shot at one of the three Wild Card spots. The team needs to find a few arms if they want to compete and probably could use another bat as well. Today they send out a guy who has put together a good year, but struggled over the past few seasons in Kyle Hendricks. The longtime Cub is in his first season with the Angels, and it has been alright overall. He is 5-6 with a 4.88 ERA, and a 1.29 WHIP. He has been worse on the road than he has at home, by roughly a full run. He has done a pretty good job overall of working fairly deep in games. He gives up three or four runs in most games, but has done a nice job overall. Mets hitters have done well against him, hitting .283, but the majority of hits are not for extra bases.
