Howard (1-2, 7.11 ERA) makes his 6th start and 8th appearance overall. He has a 1.78 WHIP, 4.3 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 through 25 1/3 IP.

Rangers at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 6, Rangers 3

Money line

The Angels (-230) are a little on the expensive side. While they’re an attractive play whenever Ohtani is on the bump, the Rangers have handled him surprisingly well this season.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The ANGELS -1.5 (-103) are the lean here despite the fact the Rangers have knocked around the All-Star Ohtani pretty well this season. He has been a stud at home, posting a tremendous 70 K across just 48 1/3 IP, and he has issued just 11 BB with 32 H. The Angels will scratch out plenty of offense in this pitching mismatch.

Over/Under

The OVER 7.5 (-108) is the best play, mainly because Howard has been so giving. The Angels should get well against him and could take care of the Over on their own. Ohtani won’t likely yield much, although, again, Texas has had his number in 2022.

Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Texas Rangers (18-23) and Los Angeles Angels (27-17) finish off a 2-game set Wednesday at Angel Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rangers vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: tied 4-4.

The Rangers are in the middle of a 3-city, 10-game road trip. That trip opened with Texas dropping 3 of 4 at the Houston Astros last weekend. The Rangers scored just 7 runs against the Astros and they lost Tuesday’s series opener 5-3.

The Angels are a robust 15-8 at home. They own a .760 OPS in their home yard.

Rangers at Angels projected starters

RHP Glenn Otto vs. LHP Reid Detmers

Otto (1-2, 5.55 ERA) has logged a 1.48 WHIP, 4.8 BB/9 and 6.7 K/9 through 24 1/3 IP across 5 starts.

  • Posted a 9.26 ERA across 23 1/3-innings in his rookie season last year.
  • Has held foes to 2 runs or fewer in 4 of 5 starts.

Detmers (2-1, 4.15 ERA) is making his 8th start. He has a 0.89 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 6.2 K/9 through 34 2/3 IP.

Rangers at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, Rangers 4

Money line

Detmers has gotten by with a .172 batting average on balls in play, and Texas is a better hitting club against left-handed pitching.

The Angels’ home batting numbers are a little overcooked by a .301 BABIP.

The Rangers may not be an outright pick to win the game, but the payout is enough reward for the way this one sets up. BACK TEXAS (+145).

TAKE TEXAS +1.5 (-140). Tis is the preferred Rangers side at current prices.

Over/Under

Plenty of conflicting signals here. PASS.

Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Texas Rangers (18-22) and Los Angeles Angels (26-17) tee up a 2-game set Tuesday night at Angel Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rangers vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Texas leads 4-3.

The Rangers are on the middle stop of a 3-city, 10-game road trip. That trip opened with Texas dropping 3 of 4 at Houston last weekend. The Rangers scored just 7 runs against the Astros.

The Angels took 2 of 3 from the Oakland Athletics last weekend. The Halos are a robust 14-8 at home. Their home-park weighted on-base average of .362 ranks third in the league.

Rangers at Angels projected starters

RHP Dane Dunning vs. RHP Noah Syndergaard

Dunning (1-2, 3.92 ERA) has made 8 starts this season. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 in 43 2/3 IP.

  • Has held opposing batters to a .513 OPS over his last 4 starts.
  • Has scuffled as a road pitcher in his career: 5.60 ERA, 1.57 WHIP.

Syndergaard (3-2, 3.60 ERA) is making his 7th start. He has a 1.23 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 6.6 K/9 in 30 IP.

  • Pummeled by these Rangers last Thursday, going just 2/3 of an inning, allowing 6 R (4 ER) on 4 H and 2 BB.
  • Has coughed up 19 H — including 6 for extra bases — in his last 13 IP.

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.

TAB THE RANGERS (+133) AS A DECENT PLAY FOR TUESDAY.

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).

Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Texas Rangers (22-28) and Los Angeles Angels (21-27) close out a two-game series at Angel Stadium Wednesday with a 4:07 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rangers vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Dane Dunning is the projected starting pitcher for the Rangers. He is 2-3 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 10.0 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 over 43 1/3 IP through 9 starts.

Dunning tossed a clunker two starts back, but rallied with a fine 6-inning outing against the New York Yankees in his last start (6 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K). The Angels touched him up for 4 R in 5 IP April 28.

RHP Griffin Canning is the projected starter for the Angels. He is 3-3 with a 5.56 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 10.1 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9 in 34 IP over 7 starts and 1 relief appearance.

Canning is coming off a rocky last start (2 IP, 4 ER on 3 H and 4 BB Thursday vs. Minnesota). His problem starts in 2021 have been a toxic mix of walks and home runs; he has allowed 2.1 HR/9 over his 34 frames.

  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Rangers 4, Angels 3

Money line (ML)

RANGERS (+105) has a slight lean here. Consider it as a partial-unit lean on the confidence meter.

It’s a play on Dunning, who is more of a ground-ball pitcher on a day with a batter’s breeze in the forecast. It’s also a lean based on the Rangers’ bullpen being a tad better and having the back end of that ‘pen available for duty.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the juice-filled run line option. The better value lies in backing the Rangers to win outright.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 8.5 (-110) is the top play. Peg all four quadrants of pitching (starters and relievers for both teams) as being somewhat underrated by their surface stats to date.

Statcast metrics indicate the quality of contact for both sides does not support the current run-scoring and power numbers.

Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Texas Rangers (7-9) and Los Angeles Angels (8-5) kick off a three-game set Monday at 9:38 p.m. ET at Angel Stadium. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rangers vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Kohei Arihara is the projected starting pitcher for the Rangers. He is 1-1 with a 3.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 4.3 K/9 and 0.6 BB/9 over 14 2/3 IP through 3 starts. He is coming off his best start of the season in allowing just 3 hits with no walks and 5 strikeouts across 5 2/3 scoreless innings in a win at the Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday.

RHP Dylan Bundy is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels. He is 0-1 with a 3.32 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 10.4 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 through 19 IP spanning 3 starts. Bundy has lasted at least 6 innings in each of his starts while recording at least 6 strikeouts in each outing. All three of his games have been quality starts, too.

Rangers at Angels odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 1:35 p.m. ET.

  • Money line: Rangers +170 (bet $100 to win $170) | Angels -200 (bet $200 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Rangers +1.5 (-110) | Angels -1.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Angels 7, Rangers 4

Money line (ML)

The Angels (-200) will cost you two times your potential return in the series opener, and that’s a bit risky straight up. Yes, L.A. has dominated Texas in recent seasons, including a 14-4 record in the past 18 meetings in Anaheim, but there is still just too much risk.

PASS.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The ANGELS -1.5 (-110) are a better play on the run line. The Rangers are 0-5 in their past five games against right-handed starting pitchers, and they lost by 2 or more runs in their past five vs. RHP.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 8.5 (-110) is the lean, although you should go lightly. The Angels had a couple of days off due to COVID-19 issues for the Minnesota Twins and that’s the only thing that could cool off the Halos.

They scored 10 runs in the series opener against Minnesota and have scored 7 or more runs in four of their past seven games.
