The Angels trailed in the ninth inning of Game 1 of their home series against the Cardinals but rallied to overcome a deficit in the final inning, marking their first comeback victory in over 100 consecutive games. The Angels may have used that momentum to take Game 2 as well.
Beyond Trout, this Angels offense relies heavily on slugger Jorge Soler and right-hander Jo Adell to contribute at the plate. Both players were key on Tuesday: Adell hit a home run on Monday to break a long slump and was hit by a pitch for a walk-off; the following day he added another home run in the first inning. Soler also contributed, hitting his 14th home run of the year. The Angels scored all five runs in their 5-1 victory, all in the first inning, against St. Louis starter Liberatore.
Blaze Jordan struck out to end the Cardinals' loss. It's not proving to be an unfortunate series for St. Louis, who have now lost four straight.

Our Los Angeles Angels vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
Detmers will start Wednesday's game, looking to help the Angels complete their first sweep in a long time. With the Cardinals pitching heavily in this series, it looks like Detmers can continue that trend, as he struck out seven and didn't issue any walks in his last outing against the Tigers.
Hunter Dobbins will start for the Cardinals; he's been recalled from Triple-A Memphis after being sent down on July 8. He has made three starts this year for St. Louis, posting a 4.03 ERA.
Our prediction for Angels vs Cardinals is: Under 9 runs.
