The Los Angeles Angels will host the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday at Angel Stadium in the second game of a key American League series. The Angels took the series opener on Monday night, giving them a 6-5 edge over the Rays in their last 11 head-to-head meetings. While neither club is in strong playoff position, both remain mathematically alive in the American League Wild Card race, making each game increasingly critical.
Los Angeles, which endured a franchise-worst 99 losses in 2024, has made measurable progress this season. The team has achieved a balanced 28-28 home record and a 25-30 mark on the road, showing a level of consistency that eluded them last year. While a postseason berth remains a long shot, the Angels are expected to stay competitive through the final stretch of the 2025 season.
Both teams have shown inconsistency, and neither has firmly established itself as a postseason threat. Still, when comparing current form and pitching matchups, the Angels appear to hold a slight edge.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction
Right-hander José Soriano will take the mound for the Angels. The 26-year-old has been a steady contributor this season, posting a 3.65 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 23 starts and 133.0 innings. His most recent outing came against the Texas Rangers, where he allowed two runs (one earned) and struck out seven over seven innings. However, Soriano has struggled at home, compiling a 1-6 record with a 4.92 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 12 starts at Angel Stadium.
The Rays will counter with right-hander Ryan Pepiot. In his last start, Pepiot gave up seven runs on six hits and three walks over just four innings against the New York Yankees. Despite a solid season-long ERA of 3.80 and WHIP of 1.18, Pepiot has been less effective on the road. Over 10 road starts, he holds a 1-5 record with a 4.30 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 52.1 innings.
Soriano has been trending upward, while Pepiot’s road performance raises questions. The onus remains on both teams to produce results during this final leg of the season. As the Wild Card picture tightens, even marginal advantages like home-field performance and recent momentum could prove pivotal. Our prediction for LA Angels vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Rays to win.
