The Angels continue to be a fade-worthy team. They’ve lost 15 of their last 18 games and have scored two runs or fewer in four of their past five. Don’t fall for the low price Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals, as the Angels falter again.

Angel Zerpa has pitched very well in his two appearances this season. This will be just his fourth career outing. The Angels have the second-worst wOBA against lefties in July and they could be without Shohei Ohtani, who is listed as day to day. Jose Suarez hasn’t pitched well, and he doesn’t get deep into games. The Royals have won 3 of the 4 games between these teams this year and they have had a much better bullpen lately. The unit is ranked 18th in the league in ERA in July.
