Rangers at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Angels 4, Rangers 3
Money line
The righty-righty matchup is an advantage for the Angels, whose recent losses have been very much colored by awful nights with runners in scoring position.
BACK LOS ANGELES (-120).

Run line/Against the spread
This line has flip-flopped this morning. A play on the Alternate Run Line Los Angeles -1.5 would make sense at +170 or better. It’s +165 for now but keep an eye. PASS.
Over/Under
Both starters have been undone by higher-than-average home-run rates on fly balls. The pricing here on a low total is attractive … at -115. PASS OTHERWISE.
