Rangers vs Angels Prediction

I’m on the Angels in this one. The Rangers have been strong at home to start the year, but Jose Soriano’s best work this season so far has been on the road. The Rangers are willingly sending Patrick Corbin out to the mound for a start here. That’s a big problem. Corbin has a tendency to make any team, good or bad, look like all-stars with how bad he’s been in past seasons, and I don’t see it being any different here. Give me the Angels in this one.
