The Los Angeles Angels' 2023 MLB performance

The Los Angeles Angels have still a good position in the MLB

The Los Angeles Angels are still in a good position in the 2023 league. They have been placed in AL West and have played a good game against their rivals despite some hiccups and mixed performances.

They have good players like Hunter Renfroe, Mike Trout, and Shohei Ohtani. However, their starting rotation has put some pressure on them, and if it continues the team might face trouble in the future.

It is expected that the addition of Ben Joyce will give a competitive advantage to the team against their rivals in their upcoming games.
