&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Join us at noon today for a live Google+ Hangout chat with &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000015”&amp;gt;Dodgers&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; writer Dylan Hernandez, &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000001”&amp;gt;Angels&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; writer Mike DiGiovanna and Deputy Sports Editor John Cherwa as they discuss the final month of the baseball season.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Both local teams have had their struggles this season, despite some high-powered acquisitions.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Before the season, many experts chose the Angels to win the &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”15007006”&amp;gt;World Series&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;, but they got off to a poor start thanks in part to a horrible April by &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PESPT005992”&amp;gt;Albert Pujols&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dodgers had the best record in baseball for much of the first half of the season before slumping after the All-Star break. Even the recent addition of Adrian Gonzalez from the &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000005”&amp;gt;Boston Red Sox&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; has been unable to wake up the offense.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Will either team make the postseason? And what does the future hold in store for each team if they don’t?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You can watch our baseball experts discuss it, and you can take part in the conversation by emailing your questions to sportshangout@latimes.com.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;ALSO:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”http://ukobiw.net/sports/baseball/mlb/dodgers/la-sp-0906-dodgers-padres-20120906,0,3991787.story”&amp;gt;Dodgers fall to Padres, 4-3&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”http://ukobiw.net/sports/baseball/mlb/angels/la-sp-0906-angels-athletics-20120906,0,6781096.story”&amp;gt;Angels may have found another clutch rookie&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”http://ukobiw.net/sports/baseball/mlb/dodgers/la-sp-0906-dodgers-notes-20120906,0,4165417.story”&amp;gt;Chad Billingsley could be out all of next season&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
