Prediction
Both starting pitchers have taken their lumps this season. Jordan Montgomery got a late start to the season, missing spring training and delaying his Diamondbacks debut. He holds a 3-4 record with a 6.22 ERA. The Angels’ Jose Suarez has spent most of the season in the bullpen and has a 6.54 ERA. Look for a high-scoring matchup with the bullpens doing a lot of the work and deciding the final outcome.
More
• Taylor Ward leads the Angels with 11 home runs and 34 RBIs. Mike Trout, despite missing most of the season with a torn meniscus, remains second on the team with 10.
• For the Diamondbacks, Ketel Marte has been a standout with a .281 average, 13 home runs, and 35 RBIs.
• This matchup also features Luis Rengifo’s speed on the bases, with a team-high 17 stolen bases for the Angels, countered by Corbin Carroll’s 11 stolen bases for the Diamondbacks.
