Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels will aim to end their two-game losing streak as they face the Dodgers on Friday night. Despite starting the week with a win against the Padres, the Angels suffered two losses in San Diego. They have lost six of their last ten games and are currently ranked 28th in power rankings. The team has struggled offensively, ranking 25th in runs scored per game, 30th in batting average, and 27th in OPS+. The Angels are missing Mike Trout due to a knee injury. Jack Kochanowicz is set to start on Friday, with a record of 2-5 and a 5.23 ERA this season. Despite his recent success on the mound, the Angels will be facing a tough challenge against the Dodgers.

Los Angeles Dodgers Analysis

The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently ranked 3rd in power rankings and 4th in offense, scoring an average of 5.53 runs per game. They recently beat the Athletics 9-3 in a series looking to clinch a win after a heavy defeat in the opener. The Dodgers have been alternating wins and losses in their past 10 games. They are missing key players Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernandez. Tony Gonsolin is set to start on Friday and has a strong track record against the Angels, with a 3-0 record and 3.79 ERA in three career starts. The Dodgers sit at 29-15 overall and are performing well offensively, leading the MLB in batting average and ranking second in OPS+.

Dodgers Eyeing Victory Against Vulnerable Kochanowicz After Strong Start by Gonsolin

Jack Kochanowicz had previously endured a series of challenging losses before delivering a commendable performance against the Orioles last weekend. Throughout this difficult stretch, Kochanowicz posted numbers including a 6.84 ERA, 5.76 FIP, and a .866 opposing OPS. Although the Dodgers have not faced Kochanowicz previously, their strong offensive capabilities lead me to anticipate a successful performance against him. Kochanowicz ranks in the 21st percentile for expected batting average and the 19th percentile in hard-hit percentage, indicating potential vulnerabilities. Contrastingly, Tony Gonsolin has displayed impressive skills in his first three starts this season, which bolsters my confidence in the Dodgers' ability to cover the runline in this matchup.
