Alex Cobb will be pitching for the Rays, and that should have you excited about the Angels' offense.
Cobb finished 2017 with a 3.66 ERA, but when you factored in his 4.48 SIERA (right in line with his 4.50 SIERA from 2016), it was clear that he wasn't likely to keep limiting production so well in 2018. The extent of his struggles this year may not have been so easy to predict, though.
He has allowed 5, 7, and 8 earned runs in his three starts, giving up exactly 10 hits in each game. His SIERA sits at 5.32, and he has struck out only 6.0% of the batters he has faced while allowing a hefty 39.0% hard-hit rate.
Mike Trout is not a guy struggling pitchers want to face. He has a .437 wOBA through 28 games in 2018, which puts him on pace for his seventh straight season with a wOBA of at least .400. He is also on pace for a career-high .340 isolated slugging (ISO). A righty-righty matchup is of no concern for Trout, who has an especially juicy .445 wOBA and .347 ISO against right-handers since the start of the 2017 season.
