Key players to watch:

Key contributors:

  • Taylor Ward (17 HR, 42 RBI) – Leading the Angels in home runs and RBIs.
  • Nolan Schanuel (.275 BA, 3 HR, 18 RBI) – A reliable bat in the lineup.
  • Zach Neto (.270 BA, 10 HR) – A rising star in Los Angeles’ offense.

Kyle Hendricks has been inconsistent, posting a 4.89 ERA, but he will look to neutralize Seattle’s lineup and secure a win for Los Angeles.
