The anticipated series of the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. the Los Angeles Angels is about to pitch off, starting with Game 1 at the famous Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The series' first game will be ready to watch on the big screen live this Wednesday, June 15, 10:10 AM (PST). Currently in the season, the Dodgers are standing at 37 wins and 23 losses. Within the past 13 games, they won four and lost nine of the games, which seems to be nothing of too much concern as for the moment they are still on top of the National League West. However, in the past two weeks, the Dodgers have been swept in three games by the Giants, and now they have to keep the focus on their winning momentum from previous games to sustain their position in the league, especially during the series against the Angels. The batting leaders to look out for in this match are Mookie Betts and Trea Turner. Betts has an average of .278 home runs with 39 runs batted in. On the other hand, Turner has a batting average of .298, an average on-base percentage of .351, and an average slugging percentage of .464. Hopefully, these two talented players alongside their team have enough in them to strike out these past losses and gain back a winning momentum. In terms of injuries for the Los Angeles Dodgers, they’ve got Hyun-il Choi (Day-to-Day), Andrew Heaney (10-Day IL), Walker Buehler (15-Day IL), and Chris Taylor (Day-To-Day) all sitting out/injured from the previous games. Now let us take a look at how the season has been so far for the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels are currently standing at 29 wins and 33 losses. Within the past 10 games, they only won two out of eight games. Their last three games against the Mets fell at a disappointing 2-1, and their four-game series against the Red Socks had them only securing one win. On the brighter side, the Halos batting leader Mike Trout has had a higher number of average home runs than Betts at .293. However, the Angels' second batting leader, Shohei Ohtani, falls short of a couple of points against the Dodgers' Trea Turner. And thus, despite the Dodgers losing streak, it is not looking good for the Angels coming into this week's series against the Dodgers. In terms of injuries for the Los Angeles Angels, they’ve got Taylor Ward on a 10-Day IL. TEAM STATS: TEAM AVG R H HR OBP SLG ERA WHIP BB K OBA LAA .244 272 505 78 .314 .410 3.92 1.23 192 486 .234 LAD .249 309 506 71 .330 .421 3.06 1.10 155 535 .218 It has been a rough few weeks for the Los Angeles Dodgers with their previous losing streak against the Giants; however, it is looking like an even rougher season for the Los Angeles Angels, who may have to dig very deep if they want to win this series against the Dodgers. So far, it is looking like Game 1 of the series is in favor of the Los Angeles Dodgers. 10:10 AM (PST), Wednesday, June 15, 2022. Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California.
