- Analysis
- The Angels are coming into this game with a 9-9 record this season and they have been in a lot of high scoring games recently. Both of their games in this series have seen 9+ runs and they have also seen 9+ runs in their last 5 straight games. Their offense has been heating up as they have scored at least 5 runs in each of their last 3 games, but their pitching has not been great as they have allowed at least 4 runs in 4 of their last 5 games as well. They are going up against a Rays team that is 10-9 this season and has also seen a lot of high scoring games recently as they have had 9+ runs total in their last 5 straight games as well. Griffin Canning is starting for the Angels here and he is 0-2 with a 9.88 ERA this season. He has not been very good in his starts this season as he has consistently been giving up runs in his 3 starts. He has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of his 3 starts this season and he is coming off of a start which he allowed 6 earned runs in. He has also allowed at least 5 hits in each of his starts and that is going to be trouble against this Rays offense that has been scoring runs recently. Ryan Pepiot is starting for the Rays in this game and he is 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA this season. He has not been great in his 3 starts this year as he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his 3 starts and is coming off of a start in his last game which he allowed 4 earned runs in. He has also been much worse at home this season as his only good start this year came on the road, allowing 10 earned runs total between his 2 starts at home. The Angels have been hitting well in this series just like the Rays have and these two have shown they are not going to go down easy in this series as the games have gone back and forth between the two. The starters are going to give up runs in this game with the way each has been pitching this season and the bullpens are sure to add to it as they have been doing in their last few games. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over the total.
