The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim want to put an end on a four-game losing streak, while the Chicago Cubs look to build more momentum following a sudden burst of offense in the series finale vs. the Philadelphia Phillies. The Angels could not score a single run against the Oakland Athletics for the second consecutive day. Los Angeles suffered another 5-0 beatdown in the series finale vs. A’s, pushing them down to 18-24 on the road and 36-50 overall. After going 15-11 in June, the Angels have dropped their first three games in July, batting .211 with five runs and allowing a 5.25 ERA. The Cubs, meanwhile, averted a three-game sweep at the hands of the Phillies after exploding for ten runs in Thursday’s 10-2 win over the NL East leader. Chicago has gone 1-2, batting .255 with 17 runs and tallying a 4.00 ERA.

Pitchers Matchup: Angels RHP Griffin Canning (3-8, 4.71 ERA with 63 strikeouts) will duke it out against Cubs LHP Justin Steele (0-3, 3.20 ERA with 70 strikeouts.)

Chicago Cubs - Los Angeles Angels Key Points

  1. Chi Cubs are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games when playing at home against LA Angels.
  2. Chi Cubs are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games against an opponent in the American League West Division.
  3. LA Angels are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction

The Cubs have been the dominant team in the last five games at home vs. the Angels with a 1-4 record. Despite the two losses to the Phillies, the Cubs bullpen has stepped up these past five games, limiting opponents to a 1.10 ERA. Chicago has averaged 4.7 runs over the last five games, while the Angels scored 3.4 runs. Although Ian Happ is batting 9-for-31 with four doubles and four home runs over the previous 10 games, I still expect Justin Steele and the Cubs reserve pitchers to contain him throughout the match. Our betting prediction for Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: Bet on the Cubs to win, -198, at DraftKings.
