LA Angels vs Texas Rangers Prediction

I might take a stab on the Angels, but realistically I’m probably staying away. Daniel needs a bounce-back start here. In his last outing on July 3 Daniel put up 5.1 innings with four earned runs on seven hits and a walk. He did better in his first start of the season (8.0 clean frames), however. As for Gray, he’s given up 11 earned runs over his last 9.0 innings across two starts.

On Sunday the Angels couldn’t do much at all on offense with just three team hits. That makes one run or fewer in four of the last five games. LA needs to get it together at the plate or they’re going to be in trouble Monday.
