Texas Rangers vs LA Angels Prediction

As I’ve mentioned in the past, neither the Angels nor Rangers have anything to play for at this stage, and I’m not eager to lay juice with either side. While the Rangers are at home, laying juice with Jack Leiter on the mound is absolutely nuts. Tyler Anderson is far and away the better pitcher in this spot. Both teams have been rough this season. I’ll still gladly grab the more favorable price with the Angels.
