Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 7/30/25, 5:46 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/31/25 at 12:25 AM in MLB Picks

Although Rangers catcher Higashioka went 3-for-4 with nine total bases and a home run, Texas lost again to the Angels. The Halos are in the midst of a 12-game homestand at Angel Stadium, splitting games against the Mariners. They'll go for a sweep against the Rangers on Wednesday, and to kick off August, they'll host the White Sox and Rays. For that reason, the Angels' chances of competing for the last Wild Card are there, and they depend on them.

The Angels are a team with coveted pieces by contending teams, but they've held on for now, confident they can compete until the final month. Three of those potential trade pieces were instrumental in Tuesday's win: Mocanda entered midgame and went 2 for 2, reliever Detmers pitched a scoreless inning and earned the W, and Jansen earned his 20th save of 2025.

The Angels were favored at -130 to win Tuesday, but when Eovaldi takes the mound for the Rangers, the visiting team will be favored. Earlier this month, Eovaldi pitched six scoreless innings against the Angels in a game the Angels won 13-1.
