Angels News: Simulations paint dim postseason chances for Halos

The thought of a 50-game schedule and the increasing chances of playing only western teams are not looking good for the Angels playoff chances.

Already in a division with the Houston Astros (scandal or not) and an upstart Oakland Athletics team, the playoff picture for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was already dim entering the 2020 season. Now with the season delayed and various proposals on the table for the resumption of play, the Halos may face an even bigger uphill battle.

The Angels finished 35 games out from the division-winning Astros in 2019 and were 24 games behind the final Wild Card slot last season.
