Rangers vs. Angels Prediction: Saturday, September 28th

The Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels will both miss the playoffs this year as they wrap up their seasons this weekend. Most baseball fans will be looking elsewhere for their MLB picks on Saturday, but this AL West matchup presents some betting value. Let’s dive in. 

Andrew Heaney starts for Texas in a favorable spot. Admittedly, the left-hander’s 5-14 record and 3.98 ERA this season leave a lot to be desired. Still, Heaney has been a bit better recently with a 3.13 ERA over his past 6 starts. The Rangers are also 5-1 in those past 6 outings. More importantly, he’ll face an Angels offense that’s been terrible against left-handed pitching. Los Angeles has a .225 wOBA, 41 wRC+, .167 BA, and 27.1% K rate vs. southpaws in September. 

On the other side, the Rangers’ hitters will face Angels starter Griffin Canning. The righty has struggled to a 5.24 ERA this year and he has a 5.68 ERA over his past 7 outings. LA has also lost 5 of the last 8 games when Canning has been on the mound. Texas has been an above-average offense against righties this month (.317 wOBA, 107 wRC+). 

The Rangers were 5-2 against the Angels in their past 7 meetings coming into this weekend series. There’s value on the road squad here, especially since Los Angeles went just 3-11 over the past 14 contests before Friday. Also, take the over on Heaney’s strikeout prop. He’s struck out 8 batters in 4 of his last 7 starts, including against the Angels earlier this month.
