Best Bet of the Day 

MLB: Texas Rangers ML over Los Angeles Angels (-160)
9:38 pm ET

The AL West is a complete mess right now, and the Rangers are at the front of it. Heading into Tuesday night’s game, the Rangers had a few game lead in the division. Texas is just barely above the Mariners and Astros, who are playing each other right now, so the Rangers need to take advantage of this series against the lowly Angels. On the mound for the Rangers will be the dependable Dane Dunning, who owns a 3.88 ERA in 162.1 innings this season. Recently, Dunning hasn’t been as effective and it could be because he’s thrown so many innings this season. But luckily for him, he’s had great success against the Angels this season. In 10 innings against Los Angeles, he has allowed 8 hits and 3 earned runs. And now he will face an Angels lineup without Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon. Read our full Rangers vs Angels predictions.
