Interesting Storylines & Team Insights
Cincinnati Reds
Hunter Greene Returns: The Reds just activated ace Hunter Greene from the injured list. He enters with a 2.72 ERA, an impressive 11.01 K/9 rate, and the highest fastball velocity in MLB at 99.4 mph among starters with 50+ innings.
Closing in on the Postseason: With a 63–58 record, they sit just two games back from the last NL Wild Card slot. Recent series wins over the Phillies and Cubs brought them 6 games over .500—one of their best stretches all season.
Consecutive Series Record: The Reds have avoided a series sweep in an impressive 40 straight series—marking a franchise record.
Los Angeles Angels
Season Snapshot: The Angels are in their 65th franchise year and 60th season at Angel Stadium. Still aiming for their first postseason since 2014, they hope to improve on their 2024 record (63–99).
Veteran Reinforcements: This offseason saw the Angels add bullpen legend Kenley Jansen on a one-year deal—a move both for immediate contribution and potential trade value. They also brought in infielder Yoan Moncada.
2025 Outlook: Despite renewed hope, inconsistent pitching and injury challenges have kept their playoff odds low. Veteran depth e.g., Yusei Kikuchi, Kyle Hendricks, and Jansen may help stabilize the rotation and bullpen efforts.
