Texas Rangers vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction
Those who have followed along know I’m not in the business of backing the Angels, easily one of the worst franchises in sports. This team has been terrible for quite some time. Bradford has just 4.1 innings under his belt this season, and usually I’d fade the small sample size, but the Rangers are fighting for a division title and need to keep beating up on basement dwellers. Johnson has a 7.11 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 50.2 innings if that makes you feel any better. I like the Rangers to get another win, and I’ll lay the RL to save down the juice.
