"Reynaldo López is coming into this series with a 1.64 ERA and a 5.04 xFIP score. Only starting in two games since his return so far, he's been displaying solid performances, allowing only one run in both of his past outings with three total strikeouts and less than five hits."
"On the opposing side, Yusei Kikuchi is taking the mound for the Angels. His ERA capped at 6.52 across his two-game starts is a drastic drop from how he ended his 2025 season (3.99 ERA)."
"This game will determine the winner of this three-game series before the Braves head back home to take on Cleveland, but this matchup means more than just clinching a series win...they need to break this losing streak and get some runs on the board."
The Atlanta Braves are struggling with a three-game losing streak as they face the Los Angeles Angels. Reynaldo López has a 1.64 ERA and needs to maintain command to support the defense.
