The Angels have a run differential of minus-62. They have the most strikeouts in baseball and the second fewest walks. They are ranked 25th in team ERA and 27th in team defense by defensive runs saved. All of these numbers, when combined, suggest the Angels are one of the worst teams in baseball. That has not been the case. With a 33-37 record, the Angels enter Monday firmly in the mix, just three games back of the third wild card spot.

I appreciate that that the Angels appear to have embraced their Pride game more publicly than they have in the past. That kind of stuff is important.
