The Angels bet big that Anderson's progress with the Dodgers in 2022 was sticky, as they signed the lefty to a three-year, $40 million contract in November of that year. He kept the same formula, but his walks spiked and he was far more hittable in the zone. Opponents hit more than 40 points higher against Anderson and as a result his WHIP jumped from 1.00 to 1.49, while his ERA shot up nearly three full runs to 5.43. The estimators suggest he might have deserved better, but not much. Anderson has never been a big strikeout pitcher (career 20.1 K%), and it's looking more and more like the Dodgers captured lightning in a bottle during his All-Star campaign. That said, he will get his chance to bounce back and prove that season wasn't a total fluke with regular starts, at least to begin 2024. If the results don't improve, the Angels could eventually bounce him from the rotation. Read Past Outlooks
