The Los Angeles Angels are hoping to snap a three-game losing streak when they face the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. The Angels currently sit at 16-28, fifth in the AL West, while the Dodgers lead the NL West with a 26-18 record.

On the mound, the Angels will send Jack Kochanowicz (2-2, 3.97 ERA) to face the Dodgers' Blake Snell (0-1, 12.00 ERA). Despite Snell's early struggles, the Dodgers are heavy favorites at -239, with the over/under set at 9 runs.

The Angels have struggled at home this season with an 8-10 record, and they've been particularly vulnerable when allowing home runs, going 7-17 in such games. On the other side, the Dodgers boast one of the best pitching staffs in the National League, with a collective 3.36 ERA that ranks third in the circuit.

For the Angels, Jo Adell has been a bright spot, leading the team with a .269 batting average, five doubles, and six home runs. Nolan Schanuel has also been hot lately, going 13-for-41 with an RBI over his last 10 games. The Dodgers counter with Andy Pages, who is hitting .306 with eight doubles and nine home runs, while Max Muncy has two homers in his last 10 games.

Over their last 10 games, the Angels have gone 3-7, hitting just .220 as a team with a 4.66 ERA. The Dodgers have been slightly better at 5-5, with a .234 batting average and a 3.84 ERA.

Both teams are dealing with significant injuries. The Angels are without key players like Travis d'Arnaud, Logan O'Hoppe, and Anthony Rendon, while the Dodgers have a lengthy injury list that includes Tyler Glasnow, Tommy Edman, and several key relievers.

This is the first meeting between these two Southern California rivals this season, and with both teams looking to build momentum, Friday's matchup promises to be an exciting one for baseball fans.
