Why you should back the Angels
After starting last season 56-51, the Angels lost 48 of their last 65 games and Mike Trout is now stranded after Shohei Ohtani took a $700 million contract to join the Dodgers this spring. Trout only played in 82 games last year because of various injuries and posted a .858 OPS that was 81 points lower than any he had posted in his career.
The Angels will start Patrick Sandoval on Opening Day and he's coming off a season where he posted a 4.11 ERA while going 7-13. Trout is healthy again and the three-time AL MVP will look to impose his will after the club was largely idle during the offseason. See which side to pick at SportsLine.
Why you should back the Orioles
The Orioles are coming off a 101-win season, which is tied for the fourth-most in franchise history. However, they were swept out of the divisional series by the Rangers and are plagued by a gargantuan ballpark that can stymie their loaded lineup at times.
Baltimore only had three regulars who climbed above the .800 OPS mark last season and only had two starters who finished with an ERA under 4.00. However, the Orioles made a blockbuster move to add former NL Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes and he'll take the ball on Opening Day. See which side to pick at SportsLine.
