Pre-buzz around the game
Mookie Betts will be the man to watch out for, especially after his record-tying 3 HRs within the first five innings against the San Diego Padres. This feat meant he now joins the elite club of Sammy Sosa and Johnny Mize in MLB history to have a record of six 3 HR games in his playing career. The Dodgers will be keeping an eye on Mike Trout who is well on his way to become one of the GOATs of the game. Here are a few stats from the O's v Angels game on August 10 that saw Trout help the team to a 10-9 win:
(i) Hit 2-run HR when trailing by 5 & go-ahead HR in the 8th
(ii) Tied for most multi-HR games (20) in Angels history
(iii) 58 HR over his last 162 games played
(iv) Batting .367 w/ 1.373 OPS & 6 HR as a Father (7 GP)
Who will win?
With the recent performance record in account, the Dodgers seem to be the choice of fans. However, there's also a possibility of Angels learning from their mistakes against the Athletics and pulling off an upset win against the Dodgers. We go with Angels at this stage.
