Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Texas Rangers ML vs LA Angels
4:07 pm ET
The Rangers are 4-10 in their last 14 games, but fortunately for them, the Angels have been even worse. The Angels have been on an ugly downward spiral to the point where they are reportedly entertaining offers for Shohei Ohtani. Against the spread, the Rangers are 33-20 on the road and 58-42 overall. The Angels are 22-29 ATS and 43-58 overall. In addition to performing better both overall and head-to-head in 2022, the Rangers have beaten up on today’s Angels’ starter Reid Detmers. He has faced Texas 3 times and allowed 13 earned runs in 13 innings pitched. Check out our full preview of Rangers vs Angels.
