This week's slate of 'Friday Night Baseball' on Apple TV+ features one of baseball's best feel-good stories, the Royals, against the Angels.
A year after losing 106 games and finishing in the cellar in the AL Central, Kansas City looks like a contender thus far in 2024. The Royals enter play Friday with a record of 23-16.
Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (.318 AVG, .945 OPS) is a budding star, while 34-year-old catcher Salvador Perez (.328 AVG, .940 OPS, 32 RBIs) looks like he is back in his prime. And the starting pitching, headlined by Seth Lugo, Brady Singer, and Cole Ragans, has been among the best outfits in the American League.

The story is slightly different for the Angels, who just won their second series of the season over the Pirates but are wallowing at 10 games under .500. Los Angeles is again feeling the absence of Mike Trout, who was off to a sensational start (10 HR) before undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus.
Outfielder Jo Adell (.836 OPS, .506 SLG) has been a lone bright spot in the Angels lineup thus far.
