Angels at Rangers (5:05 pm pacific, Globe Life Field, Arlington, TX)
The Angels quietly find themselves in MLB’s top 10 of all major offensive categories (batting avg., slugging, OPS, etc.). Halos hitters are also working more walks recently, which will be key tonight vs. Rangers SP Andrew Heaney, who is having control issues – he’s walked 6 batters over his last 8 innings pitched. Rangers hitters have eaten up lefties as their right handed batters have done well vs southpaws. However, Angels starter LHP Reid Detmers’ underlying numbers show that he does much better vs right handed batters – he’s the better pitcher in tonight’s matchup in Arlington. Texas is tough, but I feel it will take more than Andrew Heaney to hold down currently very hot Angels bats. Ohtani and company will try to win their 4th straight game tonight in Texas and I think they get it done behind Detmers.
The Pick: Angels +123
