The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Chicago Cubs won 197 games between them during the regular season leading many pundits nationwide to predict these teams would matchup in the World Series.

But in baseball only the unpredictable is predictable. Heading into the eighth inning Sunday night the Angels were tied 4-4 with Boston in their effort to avoid being swept out of the playoffs. A win would allow them to avoid the fate that once again befell the Cubs, who were taken out in three straight by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Cubs have now gone 100 years without a World Series championship. At this point the Angels don’t look like that good a bet either.
