Rangers vs. Angels Prediction

I’m on the Rangers here. I just don’t think it gets much lower on the pole for the Angels than being swept by the White Sox, and it’s become evident that the Angels have given up and are just playing out the string. The Rangers have been one of the more disappointing defending champions in recent memory, but at least they’ve been competitive and deGrom’s looked solid in limited action to this point. Give me the Rangers in this one.
