Rangers vs Angels Prediction
The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rangers have looked good in their games this season with their 56-51 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 22-31 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Angels haven't looked great in their games this season with their 52-55 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL West. They have looked better in their own ballpark with their 27-25 home record this season. They haven't looked great lately though as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games while the Rangers are 8-2 in their last 10 games and have the much better pitching matchup here. The Rangers are going with Eovaldi in this one and he has been their ace this season. He is 8-3 with a 1.50 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs all year. He is coming off another great start in which he gave up no runs, something that has been a common theme for him, and the team has won 4 games in a row now with him starting too. The Angels are going with Soriano in this one and he has looked good this season too. He is 7-7 with a 3.79 ERA and the team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting, but he still has just as many losses as he has wins this season as the team has struggled with him at times. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start, but even that could be a problem with the way Eovaldi has been pitching this year, and the Rangers also have a great bullpen to help out too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“They got every mistake. You give them credit there. They hit a lot of home runs. In this ballpark, the ball flies. If you get it up in the air, it’s got a good chance of going out. And that’s what happened.” - Bruce Bochy after his team’s loss against the LA Angels in their game on Monday.
“It's great. He's tough, he's one of the best in the game and has been for a long time. He made a couple of mistakes and he wasn't happy about it. And we capitalized on a couple of home runs, which was nice.” - Ray Montgomery after his team’s win against the Rangers in their game on Monday.
