In this Texas Rangers vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -130 road favorites. Texas has a better overall record, but they have been below average on the road. the Rangers have the pitching adavantage, as Eovaldi takes the mound, and he has been excellent this season, even better on the road, with a 1.26 road ERA, and his previous start against the Angels this season was a shutout. Soriano on the other hand, has been weaker at home for the Angels with a 5.37 home ERA, and has been torched in his two starts against the Rangers this season, with an 8.78 ERA. The Rangers also have a superior bullpen to follow Eovaldi, so I like them to get the job done on the road in this matchup.
