Los Angeles Angels Odds

Los Angeles Angels 2024 Season Preview

With their star player Shohei Ohtani departing for the Dodgers, the Los Angeles Angels are at a crossroads and must redefine their strategy for the 2024 MLB season. Despite having Mike Trout as their anchor, the Angels have struggled to translate his talent into victories, missing the playoffs for a decade. Manager Ron Washington's arrival aims to inject experience and drive into the squad. Banking on young talents like Jo Adell and Nolan Schanuel, the Angels aim to build around Trout.

This year, the Angels' revamped bullpen emerges as a strength, with notable additions like Carlos Estévez and Robert Stephenson. However, their starting rotation poses challenges after underperforming last season. Beyond pitching, uncertainties persist in the roster. Notable players include Tyler Anderson and Sam Bachman. With tough divisional competition ahead, the Angels seek to rewrite their narrative.

Betting on the Los Angeles Angels

Check out below the betting options:

Angels Spread (Run Line)

When betting on baseball, you’ll be faced with three standard options: the moneyline, over/under and run line.

The run line is a bet on the margin of victory, like a point spread. But because baseball is low scoring, the spread will almost always be -1.5 for the favorite and +1.5 for the underdog. The payouts for each will just be adjusted based on each team’s strength.

Here’s a brief example of a run line for a hypothetical Angels game:

• Chicago Cubs (+1.5)
• Los Angeles Angels (-1.5)

As shown above, the Angels are favored by 1.5 runs against the Cubs; the minus sign (-) indicates Los Angeles is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) denotes the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back Los Angeles here would be “laying” those 1.5 runs, meaning for their bets to cash, the Angels would need to win by two runs or more. Bettors who selected the Cubs +1.5 would win if Chicago won outright or kept a loss to 1 run.

Angels Moneylines

Many first-time bettors are wary of run-line bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no run line involved.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• Chicago Cubs +150
• Los Angeles Angels -180

Like run lines, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is an underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the Angels, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the Cubs would net $150 if they pulled the upset.

The Angels went 73-89 in 2023, putting them in fourth place in the AL West.

Angels Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a run line isn’t the only type of wager allowed on MLB games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the contest's winner, but on the number of runs the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

If the number for our hypothetical Angels-Cubs matchup were 8 runs, over bettors would require 9 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 7 or fewer runs. If the two teams scored exactly 8 runs between them, that bet would push and all wagers would be refunded.

Angels totals in 2023 were 73-89-0, finishing 4th in AL West.

Angels Props

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the game's result. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any yes/no question style. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting Mike Trout over 1.5 hits on a given night or betting that Shohei Ohtani will strike out over 9.5 batters. Some props can be shorter term, such as betting on the number of runs scored in the first five innings or who will hit a home run. Offerings tend to vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.

Angels Futures

Expectations are rising right now in Los Angeles, so bettors still have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Angels futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long term outcomes, like the Angels to win the AL West, win the American League Pennant, win the World Series, or even individual awards like winning league MVP.
