A full 15-game MLB slate is scheduled for Saturday, which will include an American League matchup between the Los Angeles Angels and the Texas Rangers. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Angels and the Rangers.

Texas continues to be inconsistent this season, as they have failed to string many wins together. Looking at Game 2 of this series, the Rangers are scheduled to start Nathan Eovaldi. He has a record of 5-4 and an ERA of 3.62. Eovaldi has been slightly more effective on the road, meaning he could be in line to shut down the Angels.

As for Los Angeles, they continue to be one of the worst teams in the league. That said, the Angels will counter Eovaldi with Walbert Urena in Game 2, who has a record of 1-4 and an ERA of 2.70. The good news is that Urena has been lights out at home this season, which suggests this game could be a pitcher’s duel.

Our Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers Prediction

Texas is the small favorite in this game; however, the under looks to be the best betting option. This goes back to the home/away splits for the starting pitchers. Eovaldi has made six away starts this season, having allowed 16 runs (14 earned) over 35.2 innings.

Urena, on the other hand, has made four home starts this season, having allowed four earned runs over 23.0 innings. Los Angeles’ offense was able to have success against Texas in Game 1, but with a much better pitcher starting for the Rangers, we expect them to struggle.

Texas also looks likely to struggle against Urena, who is becoming one of the Angels' best starters. For that reason, our Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers prediction is: Under 8 Total Runs.
