Los Angeles Angels 2024 World Series Odds

Los Angeles Angels MLB Betting

Once upon a time, the Los Angeles Angels were a regular playoff team. From 2002 through 2009, the Angels made the playoffs seven times, including a World Series title in 2002. But since 2010, the Angels have only one playoff position. Since 2016, the Halos have not had a winning record. The era of futility will continue for the Angels in 2024. Los Angeles is far below the .500 mark as the All-Star break approaches. The Angels have the metrics of the poor team that they are. Located in a major market, the Angeles used to draw over three million fans per season consistently. Those days are over.

Los Angeles Angels Key Players

LHP Tyler Anderson is the number-one starter for the Angels. Anderson was a 2022 NL All-Star, ironically for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Last year, Anderson was 6-6 with a 5.43 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. It was a colossal disappointment and the worst season of Anderson’s career. In 2022, Anderson was 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA and 1.00 WHIP for the Dodgers. So far this season, he is 8-8 with a 2.81 ERA.

RHP Carlos Estevez is the Angels closer. He was a 2023 AL All-Star. Last year, Estevez was 5-5 with a 3.90 ERA and 31 saves in 35 opportunities. In 2024 he is 1-3 with a 2.89 ERA with 16 saves.

Mike Trout returns to his pre-Ohtani role as the Angeles marquee man. Trout is an 11-time AL All-Star and three-time AL MVP. He owns nine AL Silver Slugger awards. In 2023, Trout produced 54 runs, 14 doubles, 18 home runs, and 44 RBI with a .263 average and .857 OPS in only 82 games. This season, Trout has battled injuries and has struggled to stay in the lineup.

Los Angeles Angels Manager

Ron Washington managed the Texas Rangers from 2007 through 2014, with three playoff seasons and two AL pennants. His record was 664-611.

It was the end of an era, not to mention the death of false hope, for the Los Angeles Angels this past offseason. The departure of co-marquee man Shohei Ohtani to the crosstown Dodgers has Angels fans, what few remain, in despair. Owner Arte Moreno purchased the Halos in 2003, following the Angels’ only World Series championship. Moreno oversaw a franchisee that made the playoffs in five of his first seven seasons of ownership. But since 2010, Los Angeles has only one playoff appearance (2014). Now in his late seventies, Moreno flirts on and off with a sale of his team.

Last season, The Angeles offered nothing to gamblers except a team to oppose for reliable profits. The betting community sees nothing to inspire confidence for 2024, and things could actually get worse before they get better.

The real offseason need for the Angels was to wave a white flag at Angel Stadium and be done with it. At least fans would have appreciated the honesty. Available tickets will be plentiful for the Angeles in 2024 in what already looks like a lost season.

Not many gamblers believe the Angels will shock the world and do just fine in a post-Ohtani world. Then again, Los Angeles did not win with him, so perhaps a clean break is for the best and future development.

Still, that is unlikely, and the Angels appear to be building a bullpen with a chance to thrive. This trait helps them prevent runs in the near term, and it might make them one of the trade deadline’s most popular teams.
