Angels vs Rangers MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
By Derek Carty
THE BAT X is forecasting 5.72 strikeouts for Cody Bradford against the Angels.
Oddsmakers are implying 4.98 Ks for the Rangers starter, so I believe there is value here.
If you take the over, you'd be projected to win 51% of the time, resulting in a 33% ROI with an expected value of $32.81 (based on a $100 wager). This play is good down to at least +115.
