BETTING TRENDS
Texas are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against LA Angels.
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Texas' last 9 games against an opponent in the American League.
The total has gone OVER in 8 of LA Angels' last 12 games against Texas.
LA Angels are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games at home.
Prediction
The Angels continue to struggle offensively and couldn't score a single run in the first of the series vs Rangers and they'll now have to face Martin Perez who has been solid in his last 2 starts allowing one run per game. Sandoval will take the moud for the Angels who struggled against the Braves in his last start hasn't recorded a win against the Rangers in his career. The Rangers are at least showing some good offense and with Perez on the mound they should e able to get this win. Take the Rangers.
