Los Angeles Angels vs Chicago Cubs Prediction: Angeles Angels to win

Wednesday's Major League Baseball action at Angel Stadium in Anaheim features a matchup between the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Angels.

In their most recent three games, the Los Angeles Angels have scored a total of 10 runs, yet in their most recent ten games, they have scored three runs or fewer in six of those games. The Angels have been unsuccessful in five of their previous six games while scoring three runs or fewer. Shohei Ohtani has a team-high 63 hits and leads the Angels with 41 runs batted in. Gio Urshela and Mike Trout have combined for 120 hits and 56 runs batted in. The Angels have a record of 3-7 in their last 10 games overall and a record of 8-2 in their last 10 games played during game 1 of a series.

The Chicago Cubs have scored seven runs in their most recent three games, but they have scored three runs or fewer in six of their most recent seven games. When scoring three runs or fewer, the Cubs have been unsuccessful in 10 of their last 13 games. While Dansby Swanson leads the Cubs with 61 hits and 26 RBI, the combination of Nico Hoerner and Ian Happ has produced 115 hits and 49 RBI for the team as a whole. The Cubs have a record of 20-7 in their previous 27 games played on the first day of a series, and they have a record of 10-4 in their last 14 games played on Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Angels are undoubtedly the better team on paper, and they are going to get the benefit of the doubt because the game is going to be played at Angel Stadium. Despite the fact that I am looking forward to a competitive matchup, I am backing the Los Angeles Angels to win here.
