Texas Rangers vs LA Angels Prediction

I’m on the Rangers here. I’m not sure what we’re honestly going to see from Garabito, but he’s got the much hotter lineup behind him and I’m just really not interested in stepping in front of the Rangers right now. If you told me I’d be saying those words a month ago, I’d have thought you were nuts, but now Texas has shown a sense of urgency and they’re the only team in this matchup with anything remotely close to play for. Give me Texas.
