Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’m on the Rangers in this one. I just feel like the Rangers have more to play for at this point, even though the AL West is super tight around .500, as the Angels are just well off the pace and I’m not a fan of Ryan Johnson’s game to be able to back him in a spot like this. The Rangers are the better team and I think with Bradford going here, they’re put in a spot to get the win here. Give me Texas.
