The Detroit Tigers extended their winning streak by defeating the Angels for the second consecutive night, marking their 7th win in their last 9 games. Currently holding a two-game lead over the Guardians for the top spot in the AL Central with a record of 21-12, the Tigers showcased a strong offensive performance on Friday led by Kerry Carpenter and Riley Greene. Greene made history by becoming the first player to hit two home runs in the ninth inning of a major league game. On Saturday, Reese Olson will take the mound for his seventh start of the season, looking to improve his 3-2 record with a 3.55 ERA. Detroit's strong performance has earned them a power ranking of 9, with top rankings in offense and defense.

Los Angeles Angels Analysis

The Los Angeles Angels suffered their 15th loss in 19 games after being defeated by the Tigers for the second consecutive night. The Angels, with a record of 12-19, are currently in last place in the AL West, trailing the division leader by 7.5 games. In the recent game, the Angels managed only four hits, with Zach Neto hitting a solo home run for their only run. Pitcher Jose Soriano had a strong outing, throwing six scoreless innings, but reliever Kenley Jansen struggled, allowing six runs in two-thirds of an inning. Jack Kochanowicz will start for the Angels with a record of 1-4 and a 5.29 ERA for the season.

Tigers on the Rise while Angels Struggle: Weekend Matchup Favors Detroit

As the weekend approaches, it is evident that the two teams are on different trajectories. The Tigers have been successful in seven of their last nine games, showcasing their strong performance. On the other hand, the Angels have struggled, losing 15 of their last 19 games, further compounded by the absence of Mike Trout due to injury. Olson has demonstrated promising pitching in his recent starts despite a recent loss to Houston. Conversely, Kochanowicz has faced challenges, losing in his last four starts, contributing to the Angels' decline after a strong start to the season. Given these circumstances, the Tigers, maintaining their momentum, are the favorable choice as they face the Angels on the road.
