Free Betting Pick: Los Angeles Angels -140
The Los Angeles Angels have dominated the Texas Rangers as of recent as they have won 4 of their last 5 meetings. The Texas Rangers have struggled at home as of recent as they have dropped 4 consecutive games, and I am concerned for them in this one as they will be starting a rookie who has never recorded a start before. The Los Angeles Angels have one of the best players in the MLB as Mike Trout is having a career year with 41 HRs and 96 RBIs, and he should be able to eat up a rookie pitcher and inconsistent bullpen. The Angels have also been playing solid baseball as of recent as they have won 6 of their last 10 games while the Rangers have dropped 8 of their last 10. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Angels win 6-4.
