Los Angeles Angels - Texas Rangers Key Points

Our Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers Prediction

The Rangers are the clear favorite in this game; however, the over looks to be the best betting option. Going back to the starters' home/away splits, deGrom has made five road starts this season and has allowed 14 earned runs over 27.0 innings. As for Rodriguez, he has made one start this season. This was at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he allowed seven earned runs over 3.2 innings. 

Both offenses have been lackluster for most of the season; however, with Rodriguez having little experience and deGrom having struggled on the road this season, our Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers prediction is: Over 8 Total Runs.
