Who is starting for the Mets?
Carlos Carrasco, who has struggled mightily for New York this season.
The right-hander has a 6.42 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, and has allowed 17 home runs over 19 starts this season. His last time out he allowed three runs on nine hits while striking out three across four innings in a loss to the Cardinals.
After posting his best start of the year heading into the All-Star break, Carrasco is now 0-4 with a brutal 9.27 ERA and 2.16 WHIP over his last seven starts.
In 12 career appearances against LA, Carrasco has pitched to 2.68 ERA and 1.00 WHIP though, so he'll look to find that same success tonight.
Who is starting for the Angels?
Chase Silseth, a 23-year-old right-hander who has just 21 big-league appearances under his belt.
On the season, he's pitched to a 4.00 ERA and 1.29 WHIP while recording 50 strikeouts. His last time out, Silseth walked three batters and allowed five runs across just 3.2 innings of work.
