Angels vs Rangers Preview
Jacob Latz will step into the Rangers' rotation for this game. The left-hander has a 3.02 ERA in his last 15 outings, most of them as a reliever.
Latz has been very helpful in this role, with great success in his past two starts.
He held the Orioles to just one hit, three walks and two runs in six innings on June 24, and gave up one run and six hits in five innings in his last start on July 20 against the Tigers.
He will face an Angels offense that has remained in the bottom 10 throughout the season and is currently ranked 24th in August in wRC+ with an 88 rating.
Plus, the Texas bullpen ranks sixth in the majors this season in ERA with 3.65.
Our Bet Labs recommendation tonight is to go with the under.
This system capitalizes on an overlooked weather edge in MLB totals betting. It focuses on regular-season games where elevated humidity —ranging from 45 to 95— intersects with moderate temperatures and neutral wind patterns.
Despite assumptions that humidity boosts offense, public bettors are fading these conditions, which actually correlate with suppressed scoring in certain environments.
In these spots, the home team has stayed under in recent games, with their five-game over rate sitting below 40, suggesting low offensive rhythm.
The market has also subtly corrected, with the total dropping from open to close, and the overall percentage of bets on the over remains modest, between 6 and 29.
These indicators combine to identify under-the-radar under spots where public narratives misalign with actual scoring trends.
Pick: Under 9 (-105, Fanatics)
