Angels vs Rangers Prediction
We’re getting a low price with the Rangers, a team that’s fighting for a playoff spot and possibly a division title. Quantrill has been respectable through 65.2 frames with a 3.56 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. The Angels are a team I’ve blindly faded over the years, and Klassen is a rookie with just 8.2 innings under his belt along with a 7.27 ERA and 2.88 WHIP. The Rangers need to take advantage of this spot. The price is lower than it should be. Give me the Rangers.
