Los Angeles Angels vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction: Phillies to win this finale

The Los Angeles Angels and the Philadelphia Phillies will face off at the Angel Stadium at the finale of this series. After the first two games, we have a split. Which side wins this one?

The Los Angeles Angels are struggling this season, yet they still failed to turn things around after the first whole month of the 2024 season. In this series, Los Angeles Angels pulled off a 6-5 win, giving them a massive advantage for a good performance; however, their second game was a 5-7 defeat. Before this series, the Los Angeles Angels had just one win in as many as 11 straight games. This side was swept by the Cincinnati Reds and the Minnesota Twins in that run of losses. This season, the Los Angeles Angels have an 11-19 record and are seated 13th in the American League.

On the mound for this finale, the Los Angeles Angels will start Patrick Sandoval. Sandoval has a 1-4 record this season with a 6.33 ERA and 28 strikeouts.

The Philadelphia Phillies have been flying high this season, and coming here; they will look forward to winning again. In this series, the Philadelphia Phillies started with a 6-5 loss in game 1 but then stepped up to a 5-7 win in game 2. However, prior series to this, the Philadelphia Phillies enjoyed sweeps over the San Diego Padres, Colorado Rockies, and Chicago White Sox. The Philadelphia Phillies have lost just three of their last 15 matches. This season, the Philadelphia Phillies have won 20 matches while losing 11, good enough to see them sit 2nd spot in the National League.

For the pitching job this Wednesday, the Philadelphia Phillies will start Zack Wheeler. This season, Zack Wheeler has a 2-3 with a 1.93 ERA and 46 strikeouts. However, in his meetings against the Los Angeles Angels, Wheeler has a 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA and 14 strikeouts.

The Philadelphia Phillies should have things go their way in this finale. While Wheeler is great, he faces some problems with good runs, but I do not think that will be an issue with Sandoval struggling to control the ball. At the moment, the Los Angeles Angels are just below that level to compete, and looking at the hot form of the Phillies, this should be another easy job for them.
