Angels vs Cubs Prediction
The Cubs swept their only series against the Cubs last season by 3-0 wins in Los Angeles and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings. Under is 7-1 in their last 8 meetings.
In this Angels vs Cubs Prediction, the Cubs are coming as -185 home favorites. The Angels have back-to-back losses and the Cubs lost their opening series against the Nationals by 1-2 wins and both teams are 4-1 to the over in their last 5 games combined. Cabrera was solid for Miami last season and his only start against the Angels was a shutout and the Angels are starting a reliever, so I think that this is a Cubs spot for a bounce-back wins after getting embarrassed by the Nationals in their opening series. Take the Cubs on the moneyline.
