The betting odds placed the Cardinals as favorites over the Angels in all three games of the series, but the Angels already took Game 1, and this team, with some big-name reinforcements for 2025, has a 3-1 record to start the year.

However, of all the Angels' acquisitions, the most significant was Japanese pitcher Kikuchi, who was supposed to serve as the team's ace but didn't have luck in his debut in Chicago against the White Sox. Kikuchi pitched 6.0 IP, allowed 5 hits and 3 ER, and ended up taking the L. At least he remained consistent in what he does best, striking out batters and getting 5.

It will also be Sonny Gray's second start in his second straight season as the Cards' ace. Gray had a somewhat better line than Kikuchi, as he did win in his debut against the Twins, pitching 5 innings and allowing 2 ER.

Arenado, Nootbaar, and Donovan are expected to bat for the Cardinals again, and Trout, Ward, and Soler are expected to bat for the Angels.

Los Angeles Angels - St. Louis Cardinals Key Points

  1. Cardinals have won every game this season where they were among the betting odds of -105 or higher
  2. As of Tuesday, the Cardinals had hit seven home runs in four games
  3. Angels are among the top three teams with the fewest doubles so far
  4. Trout was batting 0.77 before Tuesday's Game 2 against the Cardinals

Our Los Angeles Angels vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

In this still very young MLB season, Trout and Soler haven't been able to contribute much to wins, but they've responded to bats like Ward's and a pitching that, for now, remains effective in keeping games close. The Cardinals didn't strike out much in the series against the Twins, but Kikuchi is an expert at inducing non-contact swings. Game 3 could be a low-scoring game, unlike Game 1. Our prediction for Angels vs Cardinals is: Under 8 runs.

Prediction:

 

Under 8 runs.
