Angels off to slow start
The Los Angeles Angels were heavy favorites coming into the season to win the American League West yet again, but they certainly haven’t played like it during the first two weeks of the year.
The Angels have a solid pitching staff, but injuries to Kelvim Escobar and Ervin Santana have not helped matters.
The offense is starting to become a concern after the team lost Mark Teixeira in the offseason. It also doesn’t help that Vladamir Guerrero is injury-prone and starting to see a decline in his performance.
The closer situation is in limbo as well after the Angels let Francisco Rodriguez sign with the New York Mets in the offseason.
The Seattle Mariners have sprinted out to an early lead behind their top heavy pitching staff, and it will be interesting to see how long they can hang on.
