Season series: Rangers lead 3-2

After taking Monday’s opener 9-4, the Rangers won 5-4 as -177 favorites in the 2nd game of the series Tuesday as the Over (8.5) hit. RF Adolis García hit a go-ahead solo shot in the 8th inning, helping Texas extend its winning streak to 5 games.

Angels C Logan O’Hoppe homered twice for L.A., which lost for the 8th time in 9 games. The Angels had a 64.2% win probability in the 7th, according to ESPN, but left the bases loaded when 1B Nolan Schanuel grounded out to first to end the inning.

Rangers at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 6, Rangers 4

Moneyline

The ANGELS (+115) should avoid the sweep in the series finale after Texas was somewhat lucky to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the 7th inning of Tuesday night’s game. The Rangers haven’t won 6 straight games all season and are 3-10 in Lorenzen’s last 13 starts.

BET ANGELS (+115).

Run line/Against the spread

L.A. +1.5 (-145) should hit, but the ML offers plus odds and less vig.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in 3 straight Rangers games and is 9-7 when Texas is a road favorite this season. The Angels have scored 4 runs in back-to-back games, after doing so just once over a 5-game span July 3-7, and Lorenzen taking the mound for Texas should help L.A. continue to make strides offensively.

BET OVER 9 (-115).

The Texas Rangers (42-48) and Los Angeles Angels (37-52) open a 3-game set at Angel Stadium Monday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET (MLB Network/ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rangers vs. Angels odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Angels lead 2-1

The Rangers are coming off a 3-game weekend sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays in Arlington, wrapping up the series with a 13-2 win as -125 favorites Sunday with the Over (8) hitting. LF Wyatt Langford and C Jonah Heim each had 4 hits, and SS Corey Seager hit a 3-run HR in the 4th inning.

The Angels dropped 2 of 3 games at the Chicago Cubs Friday through Sunday. They lost 5-0 as +135 underdogs in the series finale as the Under (9.5) cashed. L.A. is 1-6 in its last 7 games.

Rangers at Angels projected starters

RHP Jon Gray vs. RHP Davis Daniel

Gray (3-4, 3.92 ERA) makes his 16th start and 18th appearance. He has a 1.33 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 80 1/3 IP.

• Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 6-4 home loss vs. San Diego Padres Wednesday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rangers at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 4, Angels 3

Moneyline

The RANGERS (-155) outscored the Rays 20-5 over the weekend, while the Angels put up 1 run or fewer in 2 of their 3 games at the Cubs. L.A. has also been shut out 3 times over its last 5 games, and returning home shouldn’t do much to help the 24th-ranked offense in MLB (4.14 runs per game at home vs. 3.93 on the road).

The Rangers offense has actually been better in away games this season, averaging 4.42 runs per game on the road and 4.22 at Globe Life Field.

BET RANGERS (-155).

Run line/Against the spread

The Angels offense has struggled to produce runs recently, and Daniel hasn’t allowed a run at home in 3 career appearances. With a low-scoring game potentially unfolding Monday, L.A. +1.5 (-130) will probably hit, but the Angels offense just can’t be trusted to keep things close right now.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in both of Daniel’s starts this season, and he has yet to allow a run at home in 3 career outings. L.A. is also on a 5-0 run to the Under and has scored 1 or fewer runs 4 times over that span.

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

The Texas Rangers (88-69) and Los Angeles Angels (71-87) play the finale of a 3-game set Wednesday. First pitch from Angel Stadium is set for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rangers vs. Angels odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: tied 6-6 after a 9-3 Angels win Tuesday

The Rangers had won 6 in a row prior to Tuesday’s loss. Texas clings to a small lead in the AL West, 2 1/2 games up on the Houston Astros and 3 games up on the Seattle Mariners.

After going for it at the trade deadline, the Angels have really fallen off late in the season. Even with the victory on Tuesday, they have come out on the losing end in 10 of their last 13 games.

Rangers at Angels projected starters

RHP Dane Dunning vs. RHP Griffin Canning

Dunning (11-6, 3.88 ERA) makes his 25th start and 34th appearance. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 through 162 1/3 IP.

• Last start: Win, 5 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 8-5 home win vs. Seattle Friday
• 2023 road stats: 4-4, 3.38 ERA (85 1/3 IP, 32 ER) with 8.2 K/9 in 14 starts and 4 relief appearances
• Career vs. Angels: 2-3, 4.94 ERA (51 IP, 28 ER) with 9.2 K/9 across 10 starts
• He has faced the Angels twice this season and allowed 3 ER in 10 IP but with a weak 6/6 K/BB

Canning (7-7, 4.39 ERA) makes his 22nd start and 24th appearance. He has a 1.24 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 10.0 K/9 through 121 IP.

• Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 3 BB, 7 K in 5-4 road loss vs. Tampa Bay Rays Thursday
• 2023 home stats: 4-4, 4.85 ERA (52 IP, 28 ER) with 10.7 K/9
• Career vs. Rangers: 2-2, 6.38 ERA (24 IP, 17 ER) with 5.3 BB/9 and 10.9 K/9 in 6 appearances (4 starts).
• Came on in relief against Texas just over a month ago and surrendered 4 ER in 3 2/3 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rangers at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, Rangers 4

Moneyline

Dunning had a nice 1st half of the season, but the solid results didn’t come with full skills support. In his last 12 appearances (11 starts) he has struggled to the tune of a 5.54 ERA, thanks in large part to a 1.8 HR/9 over that span.

Canning has come on strong late in the year, with an eye-popping 63/12 K/BB in 47 IP over his last 9 outings (7 starts). Look for the home team to continue to play spoiler and take down the Rangers again.

Go with ANGELS (+140).

Run line/Against the spread

Canning should give the Angels the pitching edge in this one, but Texas has a big advantage on the offensive side. They lead the American League in runs scored and are always a threat to explode for a big day, regardless of who is on the mound for the opposition.

SKIP.

Over/Under

The Rangers boast one of the top offenses in the league, and while the Angels have been scuffling, they put up 9 runs last night and will face a pitcher who has faded badly. This game should end up being pretty close to the total but look for both sides to do just enough for OVER 8.5 (-120) to come through.

The Texas Rangers (88-68) and the Los Angeles Angels (70-87) play the middle contest of a 3-game series Tuesday at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. First pitch is scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Rangers vs. Angels odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Rangers lead 6-5

The Rangers picked up a 5-1 win and cover as a favorite (-175) on the run line as the Under (9) cashed Monday night. Texas has won 6 in a row, as it maintains a 2 1/2-game lead in the AL West with just 6 games remaining, and a game in hand over the rival Houston Astros.

The Angels have long since been eliminated, sitting 17 games under .500 overall. L.A. is also just 35-41 at home, while winning just twice in the past 12 games overall.

Rangers at Angels projected starters

LHP Cody Bradford vs. LHP Reid Detmers

Bradford (4-2, 4.65 ERA) makes his 8th start and 19th overall appearance. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 8.2 K/9 in 50 1/3 innings.

• Last start: Loss, 3 IP, 6 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 2 K in 9-2 road loss vs. the Cleveland Guardians Sept. 17
• 2023 road splits: 2-1, 4.56 ERA (23 2/3 IP, 12 ER), 4 HR, .295 OBA in 4 starts and 2 relief appearances

Detmers (3-10, 4.64 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.36 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 in 141 2/3 innings.

• Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 1 R (0 ER), 3 H, 2 BB, 7 K in 8-3 road win vs. the Tampa Bay Rays last Wednesday
• 2023 home splits: 2-4, 4.29 ERA (77 2/3 IP, 37 ER), 10 HR, .262 OBA in 14 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rangers at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 7, Angels 5

Moneyline

The RANGERS (-172) are a risky play at this price on the road, especially with a pitcher unlikely to go terribly deep into the game. However, the offense has been strong lately, averaging 7.5 runs per game during the 6-game win streak. Against a 3-10 pitcher, the conga line around the bases is likely to continue for Texas against the underdog Angels (+144).

Run line/Against the spread

The RANGERS –1.5 (-111) is worth a roll of the dice. Again, Detmers has been roughed up more often than not, including 1-4 with a 5.14 ERA in 11 starts since the All-Star break.

The high-octane Rangers offense has been hot, and Texas is on a mission. The Rangers’ magic number is 4 to win the division, and it will tick away some of that with another win Tuesday.

Over/Under

The OVER 9 (-105) is a decent play with a couple of shaky arms on the bump Tuesday.

Bradford won’t go deep into the game, while Detmers is allowing north of 5 runs per every 9 innings since the All-Star break. The Over is 4-2 in the past 6 games for the Rangers during the win streak, while the Over is also 4-2 in the past 6 outings for the Halos.

The Texas Rangers (87-68) and Los Angeles Angels (70-86) open up a 3-game set at Angel Stadium Monday. First pitch is at 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rangers vs. Angels odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: tied 5-5

Texas snuck away with a 9-8 victory Sunday to give the Seattle Mariners a serious body blow with a 3-game sweep. The Rangers lead the Houston Astros by 2 1/2 games and Seattle by 3 in the AL Central with just 7 games to go. Texas has won 5 in a row.

The Halos were dropped 9-3 by the Minnesota Twins Sunday and have lost 9 of the last 11 games. They are just 9-21 over the last 30 games. It has been a miserable season for the club as they look to find something to build on for 2024.

Rangers at Angels projected starters

RHP Jon Gray vs. LHP Patrick Sandoval

Gray (8-8, 4.22 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.31 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 through 151 1/3 IP.

• Last start: No-decision, 2 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 1 K Wednesday against Boston Red Sox
• Last 5 starts vs. Angels: 2-1, 3.42 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 21 K in 26 1/3 IP

Sandoval (7-13, 4.19 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.50 WHIP, 4.4 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 through 141 2/3 IP.

• Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 7 K Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays

Rangers at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 8, Angels 3

Moneyline

The Rangers are 27-15 against left-handed starters this year and have scored 6 or more runs in 4 of their last 5 games. The Angels have allowed 5 runs or more in 7 of 9. The Rangers should take this one, but let’s PASS on the extra juice and look to the RL.

Run line/Against the spread

Texas is 38-36 on the RL on the road this year. The Rangers are 5-5 in the last 10 against the Angels, and 9 of the 10 games were decided by more than 1 run. Gray took care of the Angels about 5 weeks ago, allowing 1 ER in 7 IP.

Take the RANGERS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Gray has struggled in his last 6 starts — that start against the Angels was the last time he didn’t allow 3 ER or more in a start, and he hasn’t made it out of the 4th inning in his last 3 turns. So this should be an easy OVER 9 (-115).
