The good news for the Los Angeles Angels is that they have started playing like the team they have appeared to be on paper over the last few years. They are winning despite the fact that Albert Pujols is 1-20 with no RBI in his last five games, and Mike Trout is 6-43 in his last 12 games, hitting .140. Cliff Lee was on the short end of a 10-0 whitewashing his last time out, as the consistency has faded with his advancing age. He stands at just 3-3 on the season. Matt Shoemaker hopes to duplicate his only big league start from last season, when he worked five scoreless innings. The Angels have been the best interleague road team over their last 60 games at a robust 41-19. The Phillies are on the opposite end of that spectrum at 9-24 in their last 33 interleague games. The Phillies are now also 0-4 in Lee's last four home starts. Make the play on the Angels.
