The Baltimore Orioles and the Los Angeles Angels entered the 2025 season with very different expectations. The Orioles hoped to be in the World Series conversation, while it would've been a success if the Angels simply hovered around .500. It's safe to say things have played out differently for each of these teams than anyone could've expected, making Friday's Apple TV showdown between the two clubs an intriguing watch for MLB fans.
The Orioles enter Friday's action with a 27-40 record. They're in last place in the AL East and hold one of the worst records in the game. Injuries have plagued them, but their pitching staff was never going to be good enough for this team to win many games as constructed.
On the flip side, the Angels are 33-34 even with Mike Trout missing a month due to injury and not putting up his usual MVP-caliber numbers. Well, Trout is healthy now and has hit over .300 since returning from the IL, adding more intrigue to Friday's game, which can only be seen in one place.
