At The One-Third Mark...

I predicted that this team would go 16-11 over the past 27 games and I was so close. They went 17-10.

Record: 33-21 Pace: 99-63

The Good

Napoli (OPS+ 112) and Kotchman (138) getting hot and helping to carry this offense. Guerrero continues to shine as well as Cabrera (124) and GMJ (117).

Lackey and Escobar are showing that the Angels have two number one starters. Weaver is struggling but I have no doubt that he will be a 100-110 ERA+ guy by years end. Shields and K-Rod continue to give the Halos the edge in the eighth and ninth innings.

The Bad

Figgins (16, yes that's right), Aybar (57) and Shea (57) continue to suck away precious at-bats.

Santana has continued his Jekyll and Hyde act. Colon (ERA+ 78) has suddenly become terrible. Carrasco (72) and Oliver (53) show that they should only be pitching in blowout situations.

What Could Go Wrong

As always, the answer is Vlad gets hurt.

What Could Go Right

Napoli and Kotchman resurgences continue while Figgins and Aybar hit better. Shea gets DFA'd and Santana stops drinking that awful potion while on the road.

And, of course, Speier comes back.

What Will Happen

The Angels will continue to play well and go 15-12 over the next 27 games.
