Angels vs Rangers Pick, Betting Analysis
BARTOLO projects the Angels for 3.60 runs and the Rangers for 3.94 tonight, which would bring the total under the line.
Cal Quantrill gets the ball for Texas, flashing a 3.13 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP this season.
He's allowed just one run or none in his last five outings, four of them being starts.
Meanwhile, Angels SP Yusei Kikuchi takes the 100th spot in Zerillo's starter rankings, and the southpaw will face a Rangers lineup with three left-handed hitters.
Both should do well against these lineups, which have unremarkable grades on BARTOLO's projections.
Go with the under this afternoon.
Pick: Under 8 (-115, BetMGM)
