Angels series preview: Fallen angels
In 2014, the Royals swept the top-seeded Angels in the American League Divisional Series en route to a pennant. The next year, the Royals won it all while the Angels won 85 games and fell shy of making the postseason. Since then, the Angels have had nine consecutive losing seasons in a row, despite spending on top free agents. This year, the team is tied for the fourth-worst record in baseball, with the worst winning percentage in club history since 1994.
