The Los Angeles Angels (45-47, 22-21 Home) beat the Atlanta Braves and were swept by the Toronto Blue Jays on the road in their previous two series.

Jose Fermin was credited with the win.

Angels vs Rangers Prediction
The Rangers won eight of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of six meetings this season. All three games of the current series went Over, and I am going with another one here. Patrick Corbin allowed multiple runs in each of his previous 11 starts, and I am sure the Angels will score 3+ off of him in the opening five innings. Jack Kochanowicz didn’t have the best of a time in June, when he posted a 6.31 ERA and surrendered multiple runs in nine consecutive starts. The last time he met the Rangers, Kochanowicz allowed four runs in 4.2 innings. Go with Over.
