I'm not sure I've ever seen a baseball team as "Jekyll and Hyde" as the Angels. The Home Angels are 8-2 and the Road Angels are 1-7. It makes for a nice and even 9-9, but the disparity is disturbing. Not only is their record bad, everything about the Angels is bad. They win by an average of 2.2 runs at home and lose by an average of 3.5 on the road.
Fortunately, I have an explanation for the road troubles. They're intentionally losing on the road to make Ervin Santana feel better. In his short two-year career, Santana has been great at home and terrible on the road. This year is no different. Santana has started 2 games at home and has won them both with an era of 1.93. On the road, Santana has also started 2 games and lost them both with an era of 11.88.
So, with this genius theory in mind, Santana's road problems will shortly disappear.
Once the Angels start winning on the road, Santana will follow suit and become a good pitcher on the road as well...And then we can trade him for a bat.
