With the scratch of Chone Figgins, here is the Angels’ revised lineup:
SS Aybar
2B Kendrick
LF Anderson
RF Guerrero
CF Hunter
1B Kotchman
3B Quinlan
C Mathis
P Saunders
The Angels are averaging 5.4 runs per game when Figgins is in the lineup, 3.6 per game when he is not.
Will that matter? Maybe. Maybe not. In the past 11 games in this series, the Angels are 9-2. They are averaging 5.7 runs per game while the Dodgers are averaging only 2.0, a byproduct of hitting only .216 (77 for 357) and .165 (13 for 79) with runners in scoring position.
