The Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Angels meet Friday in MLB action at Angel Stadium. The Washington Nationals need a win after losing 10 of their last 13 games. The Los Angeles Angels look for a win after winning seven of their last 10 games.

The Washington Nationals have scored 19 runs in their last three games and three or fewer runs in five of their last nine games. The Nationals have lost 10 straight games when scoring three or fewer runs. Josh Bell leads the Nationals with 32 hits and 19 RBI, while Cesar Hernandez and Maikel Franco have combined for 61 hits and 20 RBI. Joan Adon gets the ball, and he is 1-4 with a 7.33 ERA and 21 strikeouts this season. This will be Adon’s first career game against the Angels.

The Los Angeles Angels have scored 18 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last nine games. The Angels have won eight straight games when scoring four or more runs. Shohei Ohtani leads the Angels with 25 hits and 13 RBI, while Taylor Ward and Mike Trout have combined for 49 hits and 26 RBI. The Los Angeles Angels didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published.

The Los Angeles Angels didn’t announce a starting pitcher when I published this article, but I’m not sure if it matters much. The Washington Nationals have been a mess lately and Adon isn’t likely to turn things around, allowing 19 runs in 23.1 innings. The Los Angeles Angels are heating up offensively, and they have a chance to make a dent in the standings with this favorable series at home. Give me the Angels no matter who takes the hill.
