What happened: The Los Angeles Angels are set to conclude their home series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Angel Stadium. This interleague matchup features an Angels squad looking to gain ground in the AL West standings against a Rays team currently holding the top spot in the AL East. The Halos recently enjoyed a dominant 14-3 rout of the Rays in late May.

Why it matters: This contest serves as a significant benchmark for the Angels as they navigate a challenging June schedule. For the Angels (29-43), every game is crucial as they attempt to climb the AL West standings while facing one of the American League's most consistent rosters in the Rays (44-27).

By the numbers: Tampa Bay Rays: 44-27 (1st in AL East). Los Angeles Angels: 29-43 (5th in AL West).

What to watch: The Angels will head to Chase Field next for a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
