Angels vs Rangers Prediction
The Rangers are 6-4 in their last 10 head-to-head meetings against the Angels, but they have won their last three meetings in Texas. Under is 7-0 in their last 7 meetings.
In this Angels vs Rangers Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -180 home favorites. The pitching advantage is huge for the Rangers in this one, and they have also been playing much better, while the Angels are struggling. DeGrom has been better at home, and he is coming off back-to-back shutout starts, while Soriano has given up 5+ runs in two of his last three starts. The Rangers also have a better bullpen to back DeGrom up, so I expect them to lock this game from start to finish. Take the Texas Rangers on the moneyline in this one.
