However, Luis Rengifo has been a standout performer with 11 RBIs and a high OPS. The team has averaged 4.00 runs per game and has a pitching staff with a 4.89 ERA, placing them 28th in the league. Overall, the Angels have a power ranking of 28, ranking 19th in offense and 27th in defense, with a record of 62-100 this season.
