“They should beat the garbage a** Phillies” - Anxious Los Angeles Angels fans see hope for ending losing streak during weekend series against the Philadelphia Phillies

Both the Los Angeles Angels and the Philadelphia Phillies will be looking to get their seasons back on track when they clash for a three-game series this weekend at Citizens Bank Park.

Neither team looks good heading into it. The Angels head into Philadelphia coming off back-to-back sweeps by the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees. They've dropped eight of their last 10 games. Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani have not looked as dominant as usually do. Trout is 4-for-30 in his last seven games, and Ohtani is 4-for-22 in the same time span. He also got lit up pitching against the Yankees yesterday.

The Philadelphia Phillies aren't looking any better. They just fired their manager, Joe Girardi, after losing seven of their last 10 games. They're in third place in the National League East and 12 games back of the first-place New York Mets. What's more, Bryce Harper has been dealing with minor injuries and is batting just .208 in his last six games.

Here's how Twitter is anticipating the upcoming series.

This Los Angeles Angels fan sees the upcoming Phillies series as an opportunity to turn things around. Luckily, the Angels are still two games over .500 with a 27-25 record. Their season is still very-much alive.

"Despite losing their manager today, the clubhouse being toxic and playing poorly in general, I still do not believe the Phillies outreek the Los Angeles Angels tonight" - @ haloszn

This user thinks there are two ways this series can go: Either the Phillies will be too distracted with their problems or the Angels will.

"Either the angels win this series because the Phillies are distracted with the stuff going on or we still can’t score and lose" - @ OCILOHC
