Rangers vs Angels Prediction

Gore has been hittable despite missing bats, but I’m never in the business of backing the Angels. The Angels have yet to win a game this month. Urena has been solid in his rookie season, and that includes a 2.91 ERA in 34 innings on the road. Still, the Angels forever stink and will continue to lose you money. The price is a bit steep, but it’s Rangers or pass for me.
