Rangers vs Angels Prediction
The Angels are coming off a rough week, and now they throw out a struggling pitcher. Soriano has allowed 17 hits and 12 runs in his last 15.2 innings. The Rangers just swept the Guardians, and they need to keep things rolling if they’re going to sneak into the playoffs. In 72.2 home innings, deGrom has a 2.11 ERA and .204 allowed batting average. The Rangers need games like this to stay in the thick of the wild card race. Give me the Rangers, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
