I'm not running to the window to back either of these teams or these starting pitchers. Tucker Davidson has been terrible this season, and you can understand why the Rangers would be favored at home. However, let's not act like Dane Dunning has been tearing things up this year. If I'm going to back either of these teams, it's going to be the team paying out plus money. It doesn't hurt the Angels are playing the better ball right now. Angels it is...
