"The Angels are coming off a split in Houston, and like the Nats they are not projected to be particularly good this year. In Saturday's loss, one of their relievers put up a fun 1 IP, 6 R, 0 ER line thanks to multiple errors and walks, and was rewarded by being shipped to the minors the next day."
"Seiya is on the IL with the sprained knee suffered in the WBC. He's done some running over the weekend and Counsell mentioned during pregame that Suzuki would likely go on a rehab assignment while the Cubs are on the road next week."
"For the Angels, bygone Cubs offseason target Kirby Yates is on the IL with knee inflammation and the Angels are playing things cautiously. Retread starter projects Alek Manoah and Grayson Rodriguez are both on the IL but could return later this month."
The Angels recently split a series in Houston and are not expected to perform well this season. A reliever's poor outing led to his demotion. The Cubs are also struggling, with key player Seiya Suzuki on the injured list. Both teams have players on the IL, including Kirby Yates for the Angels. Despite these challenges, there is potential for underperforming teams to win series on the road, as evidenced by past performances.
