Angels World Series Odds Ascend Amid Rough Stretch of Games

Halos odds go up from the start of the season

We're a whole month and then some into the 2023 season, and your Los Angeles Angels are in a good spot right now. Your Halos are four games above .500 as of Sunday and are playing some good baseball. 

The Angels have not made the postseason since the 2014 season and have yet to come close to making it since then. The teams and fans hope that the drought ends this season and they have the talent to get it done. Going into the season, the Halos had the 16th-best odds to win the World Series at +4500, according to Bleacher Report. We're in early May now, and Bleacher Report released their latest World Series odds; your Halos climbed up but are still in the middle of the pack. 

Los Angeles Angels (17-14) +3500

"The Angels are treading water with both Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout looking like the top two early candidates for AL MVP. However, it bears mentioning that nine of their 17 wins came against the A's (five), Nationals (two) and Royals (two), and that they've posted a losing record against every time that is currently .500 or better. The next six series against Texas, Houston, Cleveland, Baltimore, Minnesota and Boston could get a bit ugly."

They shot up 1000 points, which is quite the jump; however, we still have a ton of baseball ahead of us. Nonetheless, it's still nice to play good baseball and put yourself in a position to compete late into the season. 

The Angels are in the midst of a tough stretch to their schedule. They're battling against the Texas Rangers, the division leaders in the AL West; they'll face another division opponent afterward, defending champion Houston Astros, and tough AL opponents till late May. 

We're going to learn a lot from this team in the next couple of weeks; let's see if they're up to the challenge.
