Result: Loss
Money Line: -157.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: After winning four in a row and seven of eight, I think the Rangers finally have a letdown here. The home side hands the ball to Griffin Canning, who enters off his best start of the year after being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake in late April. He'll be opposed by the erratic Drew Smyly.
The pitchers: Smyly (0-3, 6.51 ERA) has only lasted five innings once in seven tries this year. He's been a "train wreck" vs. the Angels throughout his career as well by going 0-4 with a 5.59 ERA over five starts.
Canning (2-1, 3.80) sent seven scoreless vs. the Royals on Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk.
The pick: The Angels won't be taking anything for granted here after losing three straight. I give Canning the big nod on the bump and that's going to be more than enough to swing the scales in favor of the hungry home side here in my opinion. Lay the price.
LA Angels.
