LA Angels vs Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Rangers here. I have been this entire final series of the season, as the Angels have just looked like a team that’s given up on the season and is frankly ready for it to be over. The Rangers took way too long to look like the defending World Series champions, and I think that injuries played a part in that, but such is life. The Rangers are a team to watch in 2025 I think if they can stay healthy, but I still think for right now, they close out the season with a win. Give me the Rangers.
