Texas Rangers vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction


You’d think the Rangers would avoid losing 3 straight games to the Angels, but I’m looking at the over in this spot. Gore has a 4.78 ERA and 1.33 WHIP along with 24 walks through 49 innings. Detmers has a 5.07 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 55 innings. In his last 21.1 innings, Detmers has allowed 24 hits and 15 earned runs. Detmers has a 6.21 ERA and .265 allowed batting average in 29 home innings. I expect some offense. Give me the over on Sunday night baseball.
