Accepted Solution

A:
First let us look on the scientific notation. The number which has the highest notation is bigger, in this case these are the numbers of Los Angeles Angels (1.26 * 10^6) and Chicago Cubs (1.87 * 10^6). Now comparing the two numbers without the notation 1.26 and 1.87, of course the Chicago Cubs has a bigger number. Therefore the answer is: D.Chicago Cubs
