Gallen and Kikuchi Hold Secret Edge That Could Shatter Rival Lineups—What You Need to Know!
The Angels have done better than expected, but the difference is they weren’t expected to be very good. This team is also below .500, but instead of being 10-20 games under, they are only two games under. That’s improvement, despite it not being anything to get overly excited about. Does that mean the team will add people at the deadline? Seems pretty unlikely, but they could potentially be a team to look for as a dark horse in the trade negotiations. They still have a generational talent, although injuries have derailed his career a bit in Mike Trout, so getting him into the playoffs again should be a goal. One guy that would probably be of interest for some teams if the Angels go the other way is Yusei Kikuchi. For the year, he is 3-6, but he has a 3.02 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. The WHIP does concern me as it seems like he is allowing too much traffic on the bases, and, at least for now, getting away with it. He has been great at home this year, allowing just 10 earned runs in 53.1 innings. Diamondbacks hitters have been pretty good against him, going 18-for-74.Â
