MLB odds: Rangers vs. Angels prediction, odds, pick, and more
The Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels will finish a four game series on Monday night. Texas currently stands at 48-88 and is a miserable 17-51 on the road. Los Angels currently is 68-69 and 38-33 at home.
Texas Rangers are +115 favorites against the Los Angeles Angels.
A.J. Alexy has only played five major league innings, but he has already impressed Rangers fans. He has been promoted from the minor league system to the big leagues in a few months. Jaime Barria has a lot of weaknesses, including shaky control of the plate and a tendency to give the Angels distance. The Rangers' best hope is to wait for Barrios to get tired and get to his bullpen early. The Angels lost five of six games this year.
The Rangers have one of the worst offenses in the league. They are batting just .222 on the road. Their lineup has been icy ever since the All-Star break. Jaime Barria has had his struggles this year. He has an opportunity to improve his ERA tonight.
Neither the Rangers nor the Angels have scored more than 3 runs in half of their last ten road games. The Rangers haven't cashed a team total in four straight games, so I'll back their pitchers potential over their offenses.
Rangers are under 9 runs.
