The Los Angeles Angels are bringing their road show to Nationals Park this afternoon for a 4:05 PM EDT regular season clash, and you can watch the drama unfold on MLB.TV, Nationals.TV, or Angels.TV. Right-hander Walbert Urena takes the mound for the Halos boasting a tidy 2.74 ERA, which must feel like a luxury security blanket for a team currently hitting a microscopic .235. He will duel Washington lefty Andrew Alvarez, who is tasked with keeping his own 3.60 ERA intact while backed by a Nationals pitching staff that currently sports a very generous 4.75 team ERA.
Washington's lineup does hold a slight edge with a .247 team batting average, but neither of these offenses is exactly striking fear into the hearts of opposing managers. The Angels are particularly depleted today, missing both reliever Sam Bachman and first baseman Nolan Schanuel to the injured list, leaving their batting order looking thinner than a ballpark hot dog. Head over to StreakChat to lock in your pick and tell us which of these sub-.250 offenses you trust to actually push a run across today.
