The Los Angeles Angels simply thrashed the Detroit Tigers 10-0 in Game 1 of their three-game series. They will face each other again for Game 2 in L.A. Tuesday night.
"Put in the work on Labor Day" - Angels
The Angels sit in third place in the American League West. Their below-average home-and-away performances are the reason they are out of contention. Los Angeles cannot expect to have a 30-39 home record and sit on top of the division.
However, the recent 7-3 run is something to cheer for. The fans are right behind the home team to deliver. With only a handful of games remaining, they should look to entertain the crowd.
The Detroit Tigers, on the other hand, must start preparing for next season. They are completely done for the season, sitting last in the AL Central. They have the worst away record at 21-44. Such performances will never do any good. Their recent 3-7 record hasn't helped them either.
The Tigers' latest one-sided loss to the Angels summed up their season. The team looks lost, underconfident, and defeated in every aspect.
"Final: Angel 10, Tigers 0 " - Tigers
The Angels are hosting the Tigers for the three-game series in which both teams have nothing to lose. Fans expect it to be a spectacle. It is also a time for teams to use their rookie players to showcase their talent.
