The Angels are coming off a split in Houston, and like the Nats they are not projected to be particularly good this year. In Saturday's loss, one of their relievers put up a fun 1 IP, 6 R, 0 ER line thanks to multiple errors and walks, and was rewarded by being shipped to the minors the next day.
The Cubs won 73 of the 114 games they were the moneyline favorite last season, achieving a success rate of 64%. In contrast, the Angels won 18 of the 38 games they were the moneyline favorite, translating to a 47.4% success rate.
