Angels vs Cubs Betting Preview
Angels vs Cubs Pick, Best Bet
I love Ian Happ’s matchup against Jose Soriano.
Happ is a switch-hitter who can bat lefty against the right-handed Soriano.
Soriano is also a sinkerballer, who throws his sinker about half the time. That’s the pitch that Happ had the most success against last season (.530 wOBA, +10 Run Value).
The next two pitches in Soriano’s repertoire, the curve and the splitter, Happ sees those almost as well as he sees the sinker (in 2025: .451 wOBA against curveballs, .530 wOBA against splitters).
Happ is also red-hot right now, at least in the power department, as he’s already whacked three homers this season. He’s seeing and hitting the ball very well.
Pick: Ian Happ Over 1.5 Total Bases (+160, FanDuel)
