Los Angeles Angels Season Summary
The Angels entered 2025 not expected to be a good team. At 8-4, they have gotten off to a strong start. With an O/U of 73.5 wins, it was one of the league’s lowest totals. Los Angeles has surpassed expectations a few weeks into the 2025 regular season.
The team’s offense has been stellar. They are 14th in batting average, eighth in runs scored, and third in home runs. Second Baseman Kyren Paris is third in the league with 6 home runs. The team’s pitching staff has been mediocre. They are 19th in ERA, 22nd in strikeouts, and 18th in opposing batting average. Until Los Angeles gets production from its pitching staff, the offense must carry the load.
Final Thoughts
Los Angeles visits the Houston Astros for a three-game set beginning Friday. The Angels have been dominated by the Astros as of late. They were 4-9 against them last season. If the Los Angeles Angels can take the series over the weekend, it would prove their regular season start is not a fluke.
