The Rangers' start has not been promising, and so far, pitching has been the culprit. Hearn, a sometimes-starter last year, gave Texas a quality start, but it lasted just 4 innings. It is what happens after the Rangers starter leaves today that is concerning. The Rangers are last in the league in team pitching so far.

The Angels are sitting at .500, with a strong 7th rated offense. Syndergaard starts for the 2nd time. He did his part in his first start witha dominant outing. The Angels' relief has not been terrific, but is at least better than the Rangers, and Old Noah will likely pitch further into the game than Hearn.

I am on the side of the good guys today. Take the Angels to win.
