As evidence of more effective offense, they scored more runs and amassed more hits – outpacing Angels by six runs on offense; yet pitching suffered similar vulnerabilities due to 4.43 ERA/WHIP ratio but managed it better; although their home record against spread (17-18) may indicate difficulties dominating Oracle Park; something they need to address in future games.
