At 53-85 with a -73 run differential, the Angels are on pace for about 62 wins. By Pythagorean expectation — the record their run scoring and prevention actually justify — they're 8.4 wins unluckier than its runs. Run differential is the single best predictor of future record, so it's the number to watch as the season plays out. Because the model trusts those runs over the raw record, it projects them to finish around 64 wins — the number in the October odds above.
