Rangers vs Angels Prediction
The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rangers have looked good in their games this season with their 56-50 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL West and in the Wild Card race. They haven't been a good road team though with their 22-30 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Angels haven't looked great in their games this season with their 51-55 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL West. They have looked better in their own ballpark with their 26-25 home record this season. They haven't looked great lately though, going 4-6 in their last 10 games while the Rangers are 9-1 in their last 10 and have been getting hot lately. Corbin is on the mound for the Rangers here and he has looked good this season. He is 6-7 with a 3.78 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs in his starts lately. He is coming off another great start in which he only gave up 1 earned run and the team has a lot more success with him lately too, winning 4 games in a row now with him starting. The Angels are going with Kikuchi in this one and he has also looked good this season. He is 4-7 with a 3.23 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs this season, but he still takes a lot of losses. The team hasn't had much success lately either, losing 2 games in a row now with him starting, and he did give up 3 earned runs in his last start too. The Rangers don't have a great offense this season, but they have been really hot lately and have the better bullpen to give them the edge too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“We said all along, we believe in this team. [Team president Chris Young] and I have said that we are a better team than what we were offensively. This is a talented club that can explode offensively, and we're starting to do it more often. You gotta keep believing in that sense, you have no choice. These guys didn’t get down. They haven't. I think it showed here in this homestand.” - Bruce Bochy after his team’s win against the Braves in their game on Sunday.
“It’s amazing. What an accomplishment. Just think about the body of work and what he's done. It's quite an honor. It's fun to watch him every day.” - Ray Montgomery after his team’s win against the Mariners in their game on Sunday.
