Los Angeles Angels vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers in this one. I get the case to be made for Los Angeles at this price as the Rangers have started to come down a bit from their hot run over the last couple of weeks, but I still think deGrom is the better starting option here as Soriano has started to have some issues since his torrid start to the year through the first month. I think the Rangers get to Soriano here and get the win so give me Texas.
