This feels like a very big total considering Justin Steele is on the mound for the Cubs. He will be opposed by Griffin Canning who hasn't been great, however the Cubs offense ranks in the bottom 10 in nearly every offensive category.
The bottom is falling out for the Angels, again. It was bad enough being without Mike Trout, but losing their best remaining hitter - Luis Rengifo (wrist) - this week really hurts the lineup. Los Angeles is 0-6 in Griffin Canning's road starts, including five losses by two or more runs. The club looked short on talent and energy in its series at Oakland and now faces a Cubs team that is solid enough at home. Left-hander Justin Steele gives Chicago a big advantage on the mound, although the Angels have been good against lefties. This could prove to be a very bad ballpark for Canning, who has allowed nine homers in his last eight starts and 16 on the season.
