Pre-buzz surrounding the game
Mike Trout's performance saw some major stats tumble according to Pro Sports Outlook Twitter. The Angels will be hoping for Trout to continue in the same vein as they look to make good after their defeat to the Rangers last week.
(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)
On the other hand, the Athletics will be smarting after their nine-game winning journey cut short by the Angels. Ramon Laureano might have been the man in the middle of the brawl against the Astros, but he's also been the man for the team .278 batting average. Angels will be keeping an eye on him when they clash on Tuesday, August 11.
Who will win?
This one's tricky to answer. If one team having a bit of slip, the other just roared back in style. And considering the 10-9 scorecard, just about anything is possible. However, the wins the Athletics have behind them make the favorites to win this contest.
