Nestled amongst the enviable surroundings of Southern California, the Los Angeles Angels are one of baseball’s most intriguing teams. Formed by the “Singing Cowboy” Gene Autry, the franchise is best-known today for fielding 2 of baseball’s best players – future hall-of-famers Shoehei Ohtani and Mike Trout.
Despite the astronomical talent in their ranks, the Angels have not won the World Series since 2002. With Trout and Ohtani currently operating at the peak of their powers, can the Angels rally together and earn their leading lights the Commissioner’s Trophy they so richly deserve? 2023 could be the year it finally happens for The Halos.

2023 Rivals
The Los Angeles Angels' main rivals are arguably fellow Los Angeles team the LA Dodgers. Known as the Freeway Series (Interstate 5 links the 2 teams' stadiums) the Angels-Dodgers rivalry is geographically driven and is one of 4 MLB rivalries between teams in the same metropolitan area. While the Dodgers generally have the upper hand in the rivalry, Angels fans always pack Angel Stadium to support their team when their NL foes are in town.
Elsewhere, the LA Angels' main rivalries are with teams in their division – the AL West. In particular, title battles with the Texas Rangers have led to some high-stakes contests over the years, while the Oakland Athletics present the Angels with another all-California rivalry as SoCal takes on NorCal.
The LA Angels will face the LA Dodgers twice more this season:
- Los Angeles Dodgers v Los Angeles Angels · 7 Jul 2023
- Los Angeles Dodgers v Los Angeles Angels · 8 Jul 2023
2023 Postseason and World Series
The Los Angeles Angels have made the MLB Postseason 10 times in their history, and have won the World Series once, back in 2002.
Over the course of the last 10 years, the Angels have appeared in the playoffs just once. The franchise last made the Postseason in 2014, when they lost 3–0 to the Kansas City Royals in the AL Divisional Series.
The 2023 MLB Postseason will take place in October, once the regular season has ended. 12 teams qualify for the MLB Postseason, which is a 4-round playoff system: Wild Card Round (Best-of-3), Division Series (Best-of-5), Championship Series (Best-of-7), and World Series (Best-of-7).
