The Los Angeles Angels are coming into today's game against the Kansas City Royals tied for the best record in the MLB with the Boston Red Sox. They have the league's strongest home field advantage at 29-11 but they are still only the 4th or 5th favorite team out of the American League says EasyBaseballBetting.com.
The analyst first looks at their record against other American League ballclubs and claims that they are clearly not the top baseball club. "The Angels went 14-4 in Interleague baseball and that has really inflated their overall record but they need to beat other AL teams to make it to the World Series." says EasyBaseballBetting.com. They also point out that the Angels are 12-13, below 500, against the AL Central, the strongest division in baseball. Playing in the weak AL West has also helped inflate their record says the website.
The last few things they point out is their weak record on the road, 20-17 and their inability to beat teams with momentum as defined by their 6-10 record in the first game of a series if their opponent is coming off a win.
