In this Rangers vs Angels Prediction, the Angels are coming as -115 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical records this season and similar home/away splits. The Angels have the pitching advantage tonight, as Hendricks has been better at home, with a 3.94 home ERA, while Rocker has been terrible on the road for the Rangers, with a 9.41 road ERA. The Angels also have a better offense, but an inferior bullpen, so I like them to be winning at the first 5 innings of this game.
