The Texas Rangers enter Friday riding a season high-tying four-game winning streak, but I think it'll come to an end here with Drew Smyly on the mound.

Smyly (0-3, 6.51 ERA) is 0-4 with a 5.59 ERA in seven appearances (five starts) against the Angels who turn to Griffin Canning (2-1, 3.80 ERA). The rookie right-hander fanned five through seven scoreless innings against Kansas City last time out and owns a solid 24/7 K/BB ratio through his first 21 1/3 innings in the big leagues.

The Rangers are 1-8 in the last 9 meetings in Los Angeles and 6-22 in their last 28 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

8* play on LA Angels.
