The 17-34 Los Angeles Angels, who are now dead last in the AL West, got off to a great start in the 2026 campaign but are starting to implode as they usually do. LA has lost 3 straight, 9 of their last 10, and over that span they have mustered just 24 runs – not good. Tonight they will welcome in the Texas Rangers to Angel Stadium for a 3-game set and they will have their work cut out for them. The 24-25 Rangers, who are second in the AL West, are starting to click. They have won 2 straight, 6 of their last 10, and are expected to send future Hall of Famer Jacob deGrom to the hill. DeGrom is 3-3 with a 3.02 ERA and a WHIP that is off the charts at only 0.89. The Halos are expected to counter with Grayson Rodriguez and the Rangers should be licking their chops. In only one start this season, Rodriguez lasted just 3.2 innings against the LA Dodgers where he yielded 7 runs on 7 hits and walked 4.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TEXAS RANGERS
