Second best offensive WAR, twenty-second pitching. The Angels now project to have the 6th best fWAR in 2020. Still behind the Astros Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays. So if the fWAR projections turn into actual W-L records, the Angels will miss the playoffs.Second best offensive WAR, twenty-second pitching. https://t.co/ZJl1UKq9xI December 12, 2019

While everyone talks about the powerful lineups that the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers will have for the 2020 season, few remember that there is another that seems destined to do a lot of damage to the pitching of rivals this year.And that team is the Los Angeles Angels.Just remember that they have in their ranks fearsome hitters as Mike Trout, veteran Albert Pujols and his new acquisition, Anthony Rendón.And not to mention the Japanese Shohei Ohtani and if Tommy LaStella is at the same level he showed at the beginning of last season, they are going to be a hard team to beat this season.Certainly, adding Joc Pederson would have given them a plus, but they may not miss him so much after all.By March 26, when the MLB campaign starts, the Angels lineup could be formed as follows:1. Tommy La Stella2. Mike Trout3. Luis Rengifo4.Anthony Rendon4. Shohei Ohtani5. Albert Pujols6. Justin Upton7. Andrelton Simmons8. Brian Goodwin9. Jason CastroIn 2019 the Angels hit collectively for .247, with 220 homers. It is very clear that the Los Angeles team will have an offense above the average.It is also thought that coupled the powerful tolerance, their defense will be good and it will be led by Joe Maddon, a great manager, which will give enough weapons to be contenders in the MLB.The big question is what they can do with their rotation of openers, an aspect that they could not strengthen enough.
