After a resounding 12-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday, the Chicago Cubs will attempt to score a sweep at Angel Stadium. Pegged at -151, the Cubs have garnered a 58.6 percent chance to win on the road against the Angels, who are valued at +124 moneyline at DraftKings.

The Cubs have won four of their last five games to keep the No.1 wild card slot in the National League. At 75-55, the Cubs are six games adrift from the current pace-setters in the National League, the Milwaukee Brewers (81-49). Chicago has demonstrated impeccable pitching in the last five games, carrying a 2.20 ERA while not allowing most of their opponents to score more than one homer a game (0.80 home runs per game).

The Angels are the exact opposite of the Cubs. They have gone 1-4 in their last five games, with their only win coming against the Cincinnati Reds in the series finale, 2-1. Los Angeles is only batting .190 behind the plate while averaging 2.0 runs per game in their last five games. Also in this stretch, the Angels have given up a 5.20 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a .348 OBP.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction

Pick the Cubs to cover -1.5 Runs. This bet offers a payout of $111 for every $100 bet on DraftKings. The Cubs are in a terrific position to win convincingly again after flexing their pitching firepower in the first two games of the series. In Game 3, the Cubs tap Jameson Taillon to go up against Angels’ hurler Kyle Hendricks. Taillon has posted a 6.23 ERA over his last five starts, yet the Cubs starters are allowing a 1.76 ERA in the last five games.

Hendricks is a serviceable pitcher with a 4.97 ERA in his last five starts. Apart from the fact that this is the first time Hendricks will be pitching against the Cubs, the Angels are only averaging 2.0 runs per game over the last five games. This puts immense pressure on Hendricks to put together a near-flawless stint against a Cubs team that is averaging 5.2 runs in road games this season.
