In this Texas Rangers vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -200 road favorites. The Rangers have a better overall record, but they have been below average on the road. The Rangers have a huge pitching advantage, as DeGrom takes the mound and has been excellent this season, and he is up against Jack Kochanowicz, who is coming off an injury and has been terrible so far. The Rangers also have a superior bullpen to come after deGrom, so I expect an easy Rangers win in this one.
