Angels vs Rangers Prediction

The Rangers are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings against the Angels and 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Texas. Over is 3-1-1 in their last 5 meetings. In this Angels vs Rangers Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -130 home favorites. There is no way I’m going to lay the points with a team with Patrick Corbin on the mound. Kikuchi is struggling, but in the second half of last season, he had a terrific run while playing for the Astros. I will take a pass on the side in this one, though, as the total offers more value. With both pitchers having a combined 11.75 ERA this season, and both teams having bottom-11 bullpen ERAs this season with 10.66 combined, I’m going with the over 8.5 runs in this one.
