The Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels meet Saturday in MLB action at Angel Stadium.
The Texas Rangers need a win after losing six of their last nine games. The Rangers have scored four runs in their last three games and three or less runs in four straight games. The Rangers have lost 10 of their last 11 games when scoring three or less runs. Isiah Kiner-Falefa leads the Rangers with 53 hits and seven RBI while Nick Solak and Joey Gallo have combined for 76 hits and 43 RBI. Lance Lynn gets the ball, and he is 6-2 with a 2.40 ERA and 79 strikeouts this season. Lynn is 4-2 with a 3.54 ERA and 42 strikeouts in his career against the Angels.
The Los Angeles Angels look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Angels have scored 19 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in eight straight games. The Angels have won 10 of their last 14 games when scoring four or more runs. David Fletcher leads the Angels with 54 hits and 14 RBI while Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon have combined for 99 hits and 73 RBI. Andrew Heaney gets the ball, and he is 4-3 with a 4.02 ERA and 59 strikeouts this season. Heaney is 2-5 with a 5.29 ERA and 74 strikeouts in his career against the Rangers.
The Rangers are 16-37 in their last 53 road games, 1-4 in their last 5 Saturday games and 8-23 in their last 31 overall. The Angels are 5-0 in their last 5 Saturday games and 5-2 in their last 7 home games. The under is 4-1-1 in Rangers last 6 road games. The over is 21-6-1 in Angels last 28 home games. The Rangers are 3-11 in the last 14 meetings in Los Angeles and 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.
Lance Lynn has allowed eight runs and 15 hits in his last 20 innings while Andrew Heaney has allowed six earned runs and 16 hits in his last 19 innings. The Texas Rangers are a tough team to get behind these days, but Lynn at plus money is a worthwhile spot. While his team isn’t worth much, Lynn has still been a more than solid pitcher this season, which includes a .176 allowed batting average and .260 on base percentage through 71.1 innings. I love getting ace quality pitchers at plus money. Give me the Rangers.
