30 MLB Teams in 30 Posts - 2022 Edition: #15

Welcome back to the next post in my 30 MLB Teams in 30 Posts countdown (plus the contest - see the bottom of the post for details on that).

#15:  Los Angeles Angels (Previous Rankings - 2019, 2020: #17, 19)

Rock on, Finley!

We've made it to the top half of my MLB team countdown!  The two LA-branded teams straddle the midway point of the countdown with the last of the bottom half and the Angels the first of the top half.  Kind of fitting, I suppose, to have both LA teams back-to-back.

The Angels are a rather intriguing team for me filled with stars (Trout, Ohtani) and often times, old Reds' retreads that I still kind of root for (Iglesias currently).  The Angels are also another West Coast team so I don't get to see many of their games - and as an AL West Coast team, I see even fewer of their games than I do teams from the NL.  In this case, I think it's perfectly reasonable for the Halos to end up smack dab in the middle of my rankings - no real reason to root against (or for) them for me.
