- Analysis
- An interleague matchup at Truist Park is on the docket for Wednesday, as the Angels (42-42) trot out left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (3-6, 2.79 ERA, 99 K) to the bump. Kikuchi has regularly suppressed hard contact this season, posting 11 starts of two earned runs or less this season. The Braves (38-46) respond with rookie right-hander Didier Fuentes (0-2, 10.80 ERA) on Wednesday who has not been as successful in his first few starts.
Atlanta’s bats have cooled in recent days, scoring a total of four runs in their past two contests, while the Angels completed the sweep over the Braves 4-0 most recently on the strength of six shutout innings from Anderson and added support from Soler and Adell. In general, the Angels boast one of the more fearsome offenses in terms of runs and slugging, residing near the top of the league in both categories.
Given the veteran on the mound for Los Angeles, against the rookie for Atlanta, a hitter’s park and the Angels’ recent hot hand, there’s a strong edge to the Angels.
