Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers Prediction
I’ve bashed the Angels for nearly a decade, as this franchise has been a joke. However, the Angels have played respectable ball up to this point. Also, we’re getting plus money to fade Corbin. I don’t care about the rest of the matchup. Corbin has a 5.72 ERA and 1.53 WHIP since 2021, making him probably the worst starting pitcher over the last five years. Corbin has led the league in losses in three of his last five seasons. I’ll gladly grab the more favorable price with the Angels to avoid laying juice with Corbin on the bump.
