The Angels lost 6-3 to the White Sox, raising questions about their decision not to sell at the trade deadline. Despite having a competitive record, the Angels have a worse run differential than the White Sox. The Angels' success in one-run games is not enough to mask issues in their lineup and pitching. The team left bases loaded with no outs in the first inning due to poor decisions, including a picked-off player. Missed opportunities hurt their performance throughout the game.
In the first inning, the Angels loaded the bases but Zach Neto was picked off third, resulting in a momentum killer for the team.
Neto described the pickoff as 'unacceptable' and acknowledged it was a 'boneheaded mistake' that shouldn't happen in that moment.
Interim manager Ray Montgomery noted that despite having multiple chances to score, the Angels failed to capitalize which ultimately hurt the team's performance.
The Angels' run differential is -69, worse than the White Sox's -61, despite having 12 more wins, raising questions about the validity of their competitive record.
