Los Angeles Angels vs. Minnesota Twins preview
The Angels and Twins meet at Angel Stadium on Wednesday in a clash between two clubs looking to salvage something from disappointing seasons, with both teams sitting well below .500 and out of playoff contention.
Los Angeles enters riding a tough campaign where they've struck out more than any other MLB team with 1,422 whiffs, though they've managed to keep pace offensively with Minnesota despite their struggles at the plate.
The pitching matchup features Taj Bradley taking the mound for Minnesota with a 4.81 ERA and solid strikeout numbers, facing off against Jose Soriano who brings a much sharper 3.79 ERA to the hill for the home side.
Both bullpens have been problematic all season, with the Angels managing just a 52.3% save rate and the Twins not faring much better at 54.0%, setting up potential late-game fireworks.
Minnesota's offense has been particularly anemic, ranking 23rd in runs per game at just 4.3, while their pitching staff has surrendered 173 home runs and posted the 24th-worst team ERA in baseball.
With the Angels favored at home despite their own offensive woes, this looks like a classic September matchup between two clubs playing for pride and individual milestones rather than postseason positioning.
