Rangers at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Rangers 5, Angels 4
Money line
The Rangers look to be facing Syndergaard at an opportune time. Texas has not been great against righties (.633 OPS), but its figures there have been held somewhat in check by a .275 batting average on balls in play.
The Ranger lineup typically leans more left than most and that cuts into the lesser side of the platoon splits for the Angels bullpen.

Run line/Against the spread
Would want to pay less than -150 for taking Texas and the runs. PASS.
Over/Under
The Over is 7-0-2 across the last 9 meetings between these clubs. And that’s the lean here with an outward breeze in the forecast and the way this Los Angeles club has been hitting at home (.771 OPS).
BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-107).
